Enterprise Data integration projects (for BI, ERP or CRM) usually require a single integrated view of all location data (facilities, addresses, offices etc).

ID Integrator for Locations brings together this information from multiple applications, databases and legacy systems, to create a single up to date repository of location data.

WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?

1. Enterprise Data Managers
   Who wish to have a comprehensive Location reference data repository with up to date Location data.
   
   
2. ERP / BI /CRM Project Managers
   Who need to create integrated Location reference data for integrating data and processes within ERP, BI and CRM applications.

WHAT PROBLEM DOES IT SOLVE?

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

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

HOW IS IT USED?

ID Integrator for Locations is intended primarily for Location reference data integration. It is most useful for

1. Profiling Columns in the Enterprise Data Landscape for discovery, identification and classification of Location reference Data
   
   
2. Extraction of Location Reference Data Tables from global information landscape to a Central Repository (Global Location ID Store)
   
   
3. Semi-automated integration of reference data using advanced record matching techniques.
