SITA CORP, a leading SAP integration and business management consulting organization, has partnered with Clavis Technology, the leading developer of on demand data quality governance solutions, to provide Clavis Data Quality Steward to SITA CORP’s extensive portfolio of SAP MDM customers. Data quality and master data management (MDM) are inextricably linked. Clavis Data Quality Steward is the first software as a service (SaaS) offering providing the data quality controls and governance for upstream data creation and data update processes that are essential to ensure the success of MDM.

Many MDM solutions provide data quality checks as data enters the application to block or flag bad data. However, only a proportion of new master data is ever created in the MDM application or portal. Most large organizations use various forms, documents and spreadsheets to collect data, which makes it is very difficult to guarantee the quality of master data as it is created.

Poor data quality is an intractable problem in large organizations. Once incorrect data gets into an information system it becomes difficult and costly to rectify. Clavis Data Quality Steward is the only solution that enables organizations to enforce robust data quality controls in upstream data collection forms, documents, spreadsheets and applications where most master data is created. 

Clavis Data Quality Steward paves the way for MDM implementation and ongoing operation by enabling organizations to rapidly improve master data quality by addressing the problem at the point of collection. It ensures an organization’s key master data complies with internal and external standards well before it is used by the MDM system; ensuring the data is "right first time, every time." 

The solution is delivered in the cloud as software as a service, which means SITA CORP customers don’t need to install any additional software to imbed data quality checks into their MDM processes. The data quality solution is accessible inside and outside the enterprise, enabling suppliers, trading partners and customers to apply the same data quality standards to any process. It is easy to configure, offers accelerated time-to-results and universal access based on a scalable subscription-based pricing model.
