Goes beyond the tools and methods packaged with your warehouse, ETL or messaging technology-even beyond customer data cleansing and consolidation tools. Use data profiling, metadata definition, and data quality assessment tools to comprehensively define and analyze source data rules, and to pinpoint quality issues in the data values. Document details that go beyond what you already have, but which are crucial for a successful integration project-details such as the following: * Table definitions * Primary keys * Embedded relations/entities * "Virtual" referential constraints * Field definitions * Data Types * Not Null, Not Blank, and Not Zero rules * Allowable (Valid) value sets and meanings * Allowable (Valid) pattern/format sets * Minimum and Maximum allowable values (ranges) * "Special" (i.e., control) values and meanings Regardless of the type of integration technology being used, this detailed information about the source data enables the accurate and complete definition of cleansing routines, data mappings, transformations, and test cases.

Data Cleansing and Conversion Service S Address Validation Address Validation includes every possible action at address level. The data can be corrected in such a way that the mailing is deliverable (postal level) and the address is refined to have the proper standard appearance (presentation level). Typos and spelling mistakes are corrected, and incomplete data is “enhanced” where possible. This process consists of: * Completeness Check: A record is flagged as a "Short Address", if the address components available are not sufficient to allow for address validation, e.g., the street name, city and postcode are present, but there is no record of the house number. * ASDF Check: This check is made to flag all 'nonsense' data, e.g. 'xxxx', 'asdfasdf', 'none of your business', 'myaddress', 'mycity', etc. Name fields can also be scanned with this to detect entries such as 'Mickey Mouse' and 'Donald Duck'. * Postal Validation: The postal address is validated, and the street or PO Box details are corrected (where necessary). * Standardisation: This ensures the consistency of elements within the address, e.g. street (straat, rue, avenida) or postcodes (country specific), etc. We own postcode tables for more than 200 countries and can therefore validate addresses for all of these countries. Data Enhancement In addition to address validation, you can also avail of our other possibilities for optimising your data: data conversion to upper, lower or mixed case characters; gender allocation (applying a gender by checking the first name), adding a salutation and adieu, and formatting all international addresses in accordance with local cultural and postal specifications. We can also check addresses against lists of people who do not want to receive direct mail or have moved within the country or internationally. We can establish if a company or person is still located at the same address. If not, we can determine their new address. We can also remove people who do not want to receive direct mail: this prevents wasting your budget and irritating the recipients of your mail. Merge/Purge Subscription We also offer a more complex cleaning service that can correct existing databases and then combine and convert them into one new database system. Companies wishing to clean their customer and prospect data on a regular basis can avail of this service on a subscription basis - with very competitive prices.

ChangeGear A Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act section 404 -Management Assessment of Internal Controls, companies must establish and maintain adequate internal control structures and procedures for financial reporting. While this section does not clearly spell out IT responsibilities, it has significant and direct impact on IT infrastructure services which are the underpinning of financial systems. Most would agree the reliability of financial reporting is heavily dependent on a well-controlled IT environment. To help meet this requirement, IT organizations can adopt COBIT as a framework to help identify IT control objectives. COBIT's framework encompasses four domains containing 34 IT processes for section 404 compliance requirements. One of the control objectives is change management. It states: "Controls provide reasonable assurance that system changes of financial reporting significance are authorized and appropriately tested before being moved to production." SunView Software's ChangeGear™ offers IT organizations a solution that helps manage, track and document IT infrastructure changes. With automated approval and notification, historical audit trail and real-time view of change activities, IT organizations can demonstrate the effectiveness of IT change management to ensure section 404 compliance.
