Reference Data

A part of the company information that remains almost unchanged in the course of daily operations

WHY A COMPANY NEEDS CENTRALIZED CONTROL


  • to organize its corporate information system ы
  • to make initial monitoring and accounting data more reliable and consistent
  • to establish compatibility between records and reports
  • to raise responsibility for the quality of reference data
  • to provide reliable and consistent reference data to users of information and monitoring systems
  • to raise the efficiency of managerial solutions and operations control as a result of standardized reference data consolidation

MAIN PROBLEMS RELATED TO MAINTAINING THE REFERENCE DATA



Несвоевременное и неполное обновление источников

Untimely and incomplete updating of data sources

Сложный процесс доступа и распространения НСИ

The complexity of getting access to and distributing the reference data

Несанкционированное изменение информации

Unauthorized changes

Фрагментация данных

Fragmented data

Сложность администрирования

Complicated data administration

Дублирование информации

Redundant data

Необходимость добавления в справочники иноаспектных позиций

The need to add exclusive entries to reference books

Справочники, доступные только отдельным подразделениям

Reference books that are only available to certain divisions

OBJECTIVES



  • to integrate information systems at the reference data level and thus regulate and bring down the related maintenance costs
  • to use universal reference data codes in order to have company reports collected and analyzed automatically
  • to optimize the quality and consistency of reference data by eliminating redundant data, optimizing maintenance procedures and minimizing chores
  • to implement a centralized reference data system using classification and coding standards developed by the company

GOALS



  • to reduce data management costs
  • to be able to implement new systems without having to develop reference data subsystems for them
  • to ensure a single information environment for all systems and business applications
  • to reduce costs related to the use of outdated or incomplete data
  • to ensure data security
  • to provide simple centralized procedures for creating and maintaining reference books on the basis of company standards and a single methodology
