Unified Data Management Platform

The tools required to model and maintain high-quality data are an essential part of data governance. Talend technology improves data governance by making it easy to start and manage data quality processes. With Talend Enterprise Data Quality, you can:

• Improve data quality in hours rather than months with an intuitive application. Lower professional services costs as you use Talend's familiar Eclipse-based platform.
• Upgrade your technology to Talend Enterprise MDM as your company matures its data governance strategy. Data integration, data quality and MDM are controlled from one familiar user interface, not a series of unrelated ones.
• Deploy data quality processes and services seamlessly across teams of people, lines of business, applications, and systems. The platform is easy enough for a business user to master and powerful enough for IT to get the job done.

Key Performance Indicator Tracking

Tracking data quality metrics is becoming standard data governance practice in many corporations. Providing feedback metrics about data quality is the only way to change the hearts and minds of those who enter data into the system. Showing the impact of poor data quality is the best way to improve data quality at the source. With Talend Enterprise Data Quality, you can:

• Publish web-based reports that track data quality metrics. Users can log in with a web browser and instantly follow trouble areas.
• Create Custom Adobe Acrobat, XML and Excel reports that allow your data governance team to shine a light on the data governance process
• Track only the metrics you want to track. Reports that are as custom as your data.

Data Quality Issue Mitigation

Once issues are identified, users can immediately put processes in place to cleanse data. Users can profile, standardize, cleanse, and find duplicates with Talend Enterprise Data Quality. Using the superior data integration features, it's easy to unload and reload almost any database with clean, duplicate-free data.

• Clean and normalize all sorts of data, including supply chain, ERP, CRM and transactional data. Diverse data quality processes will help your company meet compliance mandates and reduce corporate risk
