Data Management - Overview

Obtain significant performance efficiencies and high levels of accuracy

Etesius has gained tremendous experience and skills in managing spend data. Our team consistently handles the migration, cleanse and enhancement of billions of pounds of spend data every month.

We have developed specialist data handling and analysis tools to support our solutions. This enables us to obtain significant performance efficiencies and high levels of accuracy which we can deliver in the following service solutions:

  • Procurement Data Transformation Services
    Are you migrating data between purchasing and A/P systems? We can help. We have a proven methodology for extracting, transforming and re-loading spend data and can work closely with your business analysts to deliver a rapid migration service. We can add value to your source data through the transform process and make recommendations to support the maintenance of high quality data.

  • Supplier Master Data Enhancement
    All supplier master data tables have increasingly less quality over-time. This can be due to duplicate supplier records, redundant suppliers, one-off suppliers and errors in processing. Furthermore supplier data may be of varying quality (such as poor address fields). Content should be reviewed on a periodic basis to ensure efficiency of operations and reduce risk. We can help by conducting a quick and focused exercise to:
    • cleanse and rationalise the supplier file
    • measure quality and fill quality gaps
    • append additional data
    • normalise supplier records (parent-child)
  • Parts/Item Data Rationalisation
    Parts and material items codes are particularly prone to duplication and redundancy. Additionally different coding conventions may be in use throughout an organisation; particularly if there are multiple purchase order systems. We are experienced in aggregation of parts data and re-classification into a single consistent view. An exercise to rationalise this vital data will yield better management & operational information for all purchasing activity.
  • Classification Services
    A major challenge in procurement is to create a single spend taxonomy across multiple ledgers and systems. We are specialised in developing and appending tailored taxonomy structures to often quite disparate and messy spend data. We can help your information requirements by developing a taxonomy that will fit your source data and provide insights to procurement that are simply otherwise not available. Without clear and accurate category information, sourcing and process opportunities cannot be maximised and ‘bottom-line’ value will be lost.
