Data managers can use Kalido MDM to define, test, save and execute complex data matching and mapping rules without the need to code complex business logic. This further increases the speed with which customers can deploy MDM for any domain of data.
The enhancements also enable active participation from the data experts in the process of integrating data.
Sophisticated data matching capabilities can drastically increase the volume and complexity of master data that data stewards can manage, providing a high degree of automation without sacrificing the benefit of human decision-making. The matching engine accurately finds matches between attributes, even for incomplete or partial similarity.
In addition to the improved data matching capabilities, the latest release of the Kalido Information Engine also features:
- A high performance transaction loader that will deliver faster load speeds to the Kalido data warehouse;
- Greater control over temporary, time-based changes, such as promotional pricing for retail products;
- Finer granularity over change logs for audit purposes;
- Increased compatibility and support for the latest releases of various platforms and technologies.
Delivering Customer Value
Eisai Inc., one of the top 20 U.S. pharmaceutical companies, plans to use these new data matching capabilities across multiple data sources to enhance understanding of prescription data.
Like all pharmaceutical companies, Eisai has the difficult task of analyzing sales force effectiveness without having direct, correlating prescription data. Kalido’s business-centric approach to master data management, coupled with its sophisticated data matching capabilities, will help Eisai integrate information across 16 different data sources and correlate the complex relationships that exist among physicians, their affiliations and Eisai’s pharmaceutical products.
