data quality case study - Technology Company

A world-class computer and networking company needed to clean up the amount of customer duplicates that resided in their business application systems. The customer's business systems are Oracle Applications version 10.7 character in a single instance running the Inventory, Bill of Material, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable modules. The customer entries were fed into the Oracle AR module by a custom developed order entry system that was propagating duplicate customers. It was the desire of the client to use eprentise technology to resolve customer duplicates, reconcile all of the detailed transaction, and "re-populate" the corrected customer data back into the custom developed order entry system.

The number of customer records in their Oracle Applications was approximately 80,000. The estimated number of duplicate customers within that instance exceeded 30,000.

Because of the mission critical nature of the project, the client required a conference room pilot with a subset of customer data prior to initiating the complete cleansing exercise to determine the exact downtime required. Data standardization and filtering rules were applied to the selected desired subset of data and then the duplicate management solution was executed. The pilot was completed to the client satisfaction.

Project Analysis:

Oracle Applications Version: 10.7

Platform: Sun Solaris

Alternatives: Estimated Duration Estimated Minimum Cost*
Re-Implementation N/A N/A
Manual Script Coding: 6-8 months $576,000
eprentise® Solution: 3 weeks  



NOTE: The client had already attempted this enterprise change using other software as well as utilizing internal resources. Neither attempt was successful due to time/cost constraints and less than desired results
