Data Cleansing & Normalization

Make effective decisions based on trustworthy data

Trustworthy data underpins the ability of organizations to make intelligence led decisions. Our service takes unstructured and low quality data from across the enterprise and cleanses it to provide context driven business intelligence.

Normalizing raw IT asset inventory data from multiple sources is the #1 challenge facing ITAM and SAM managers when it comes to creating and managing their IT asset data strategy. With most large complex organizations using multiple inventory tools, that’s no surprise and can create a major headache as your staff waste time and energy trying to consolidate multiple data sets into a single asset repository.
