Enterprise Data Management
“The most meaningful way to differentiate your company from your competition is to do an outstanding job with information. How you gather, manage, and use information will determine whether you will win or lose”
Bill Gates - Business @ The Speed of Thought
Illumi's Enterprise Data Management (EDM) solution reconciles disparate data sources providing a Single Version of the Truth. Our EDM practice focuses on the strategic development and execution of architectures, technologies, policies, practices and procedures that properly manage the full lifecycle of data creating a consistent interpretation of business information across the business enterprise.
Illumi's Enterprise Data Management solutions have particular importance to clients for Risk Mitigation, Regulatory Compliance, Organizational Changes, and Business Intelligence. Illumi's EDM is a necessary part of successful Mergers and Acquisitions.
Approach
Illumi's Enterprise Data Management (EDM) eliminates data redundancy, standardizes data, and improves data quality. Illumi's solution provides the foundation for effective Data Governance. Our approach resolves conflict surrounding data ownership among the various stakeholders. We create a single authoritative source of data in enterprise repositories include Data Warehouses and Data Marts. Our solution provides the basis for real-time, enterprise-wide Business Intelligence. Moreover, our approach aligns data resources with business processes needs providing more timely business information.
As part of our approach we define a technology framework, implementing new components, rationalizing systems and data feeds, making discrete changes solely within one line of business or across the entire enterprise.
Availability
Implementing high-availability technologies, backup and restore capabilities, and replication enhancements with features such as database mirroring, fail over clustering, and enhanced online operations minimize downtime and help to ensure that critical enterprise systems remain accessible
Scalability
Our EMD solutions can be implemented in a phased approach for a single business unit or business function and be expanded across the entire business enterprise.
