WHAT PROBLEM DOES IT SOLVE?

Most companies have their customer reference data distributed across many applications, databases and legacy environments.

Since there is no single, well-defined process for the creation of new customer IDs, companies end up with multiple Customer IDs for the same customer. For companies that have a large number of customers, it becomes very difficult to integrate customer information. The Customer IDs must be integrated (or cross-referenced) before the Customer Information can be integrated.

ID Integrator for Customers automates the integration of customer IDs from the enterprise data landscape. It is used to create repositories of enterprise customer reference data that is essential to any enterprise data integration project.
