GlueData Takes on BI: A Step Towards Master Data Management Solutions

With eight years of expertise in SAP Master Data Management, Data Integration and Data Migration, GlueData has been a prominent figure in the South African market. “Data is our passion, and we know that data architecture is key to everything from the data source, through data lineage to reporting. The effectiveness of a companies’ data is driven through the underlying data architecture and not the frontend reporting” States Brett Schreuder, Managing Director at GlueData.

With its new Business Intelligence solutions, GlueData offers a full range of services and solutions. “BI is possibly one of the most contentious, and “unloved” topics for many of our clients. We find that discontent is often founded in customers’ high aspirations of the value of data (as reported in multiple BI whitepapers) and their subsequent experiences of non-existent or underwhelming analytics or the high cost of BI, to mention but a few reasons.” Continues Brett.

GlueData knows Business Intelligence and Quality Data go hand in hand. Despite the symbiotic nature of these two areas, they require at a minimum:

1. BI and data must be supported by a well-defined, shared architecture.

2. Understand industry verticals or specific business processes to assist with data conversation; convert data into meaningful information (KPI's); and leverage data to provide sound analytics - be it descriptive or prescriptive.

3. An understanding of data management and BI principles. Our belief is that the tools and technology should influence the solution, not drive it.

GlueData is an SAP partner and primarily SAP-centric. In order to support the need for optimum data management, we see a clear need for the end-state BI landscape to integrate other suitable technologies. In designing and delivering business intelligence solutions, all factors such as agility, cost drivers, and appropriate local skills are considered.

“Through our newly established BI competency, GlueData will now provide a more complete service which is centred around our core skills in Data, Master Data, Data Quality, Modeling of Data, Data Integration, Data Migration and the Management of Information culminating in Data Analysis and Data Insights. We look forward to discussing the complete data landscape with our existing and future customers.” Concludes Brett.
