Solutions Overview      

Since 1996 BackOffice Associates, LLC has taken data off the critical path for a large group of Fortune 100 companies. We have solutions that span from perfecting the focused task of SAP^® data migration to more customized solutions for data governance and general data quality improvements. Our solutions fall in the following categories:

DATADIALYSIS^®
DataDialysis^® is our service for establishing both actionable data quality metrics and the process for resolving subsequent master data errors.  We’ve taken the mystery out of SAP’s interdependencies, allowing your team to identify business issues and gain insight and results from our expertise. Through this process we have assisted global corporations in transforming their “anecdotes” about poor data quality into a sustainable path for continuous improvement.  This service and the infrastructure it builds is a must-have for any data governance-minded SAP customer.

DATA AUDIT
In every data migration and data dialysis engagement, we begin with an initial investigation that we refer to as a data audit.  Some clients may prefer the Data Audit as an initial short engagement or proof of concept to generate internal support for a migration or dialysis project.  For data migration, this involves identifying all sources and preliminary business rules surrounding the SAP requirements.  For DataDialysis^®, our team identifies specific master data errors causing the business problems presented by the client.  The work product from this event is fully recycled into subsequent migration or dialysis activities and adds strong value for the manager building consensus toward the solution path ahead.

DATA MIGRATION
Tactics alone can not solve data migration problems. The only way to achieve a timely and successful data migration and ERP implementation is to approach the task with a strategically global approach. Isolating the current databases defies the logic behind joining the databases in the first place. There must be room left for the data complexity to be transferred, not only error free but also business ready. The BackOffice Associates, LLC methodology is a holistic approach where only 100% representation of a sample is accepted. The way to achieve this is to load all data simultaneously and from the start. Under the traditional methodology, time spent interpreting samples is wasted and simply counts for a delay and is a severe shortening of the timeframe to find and eradicate errors.

DATA GOVERNANCE
Data governance is a hot topic for many corporations, and history has proven that no solution is either simple or universal. What has become evident is that experience counts when piecing together a strategy to accomplish the specific data governance needs for a large corporation.  We have helped several customers piece their own solutions together to meet their exacting needs for blocking new errors from entering the system and identifying existing errors among their various data sources.  Our acumen for master data management has made us a vendor of choice for SAP’s greatest master data challenges.
