For any software system or organizational process to operate unfettered, the underlying data quality is equally important, if not more, when compared to the very technical systems and software platforms that depend on the data for continuity and accuracy of business operations.<\/p>

Unfortunately, though, the availability and readiness of organizations to maintain data quality and augment it has not matched the pace when compared to other technologies.<\/p>

Since 2021, immediately in the aftermath of the first public announcement of the conversational AI platform, ChatGpt, and the subsequent unveiling of agentic systems that can autonomously execute a myriad number of tasks, the debate on data quality is back on everyone\u2019s mind.<\/p>

This is particularly true as enterprises have come to the realization that even the best tech-enabled systems are useless or inaccurate in their output when the underlying data is incomplete, duplicated, unreliable and not synchronized with other data management systems.<\/p>

The graph below shows an uptick in the number of searches by users looking to explore data cleansing services and tools for ensuring ongoing data quality thresholds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To equip buyers, procurement professionals, data management & GTM teams with the right information, this article compiles some of the leading data cleansing platforms, broadly categorized into the following.<\/p>

  1. CRM Data Cleansing Software<\/li>
  2. ERP Data Cleansing Software<\/li>
  3. Employee & HR Data Cleansing<\/li>
  4. One-off Data Cleansing [Custom]<\/li><\/ol>

    #1, #2 & #3 from the above are common and recurring requirements, especially in the absence of poor data governance frameworks.<\/p>

    #4 however are unique, one-off data cleansing requirements that are custom in nature and typically not recurring as they are taken up on a project basis.<\/p>

    Also, this list will feature a wide-array of platforms for data cleansing tools, featuring ETL tools, purpose-built cleansing software, Open-Source platforms, Data Preparation software etc<\/p>

      Most companies over a million $ in revenue typically make use of a CRM system. The objective of the CRM is to capture the journey stages of prospects, leads, opportunities and customers through the conversion cycle and equip sales, marketing and operation teams with the right data.<\/p>

      Some CRMs even capture partner data and associations between partners, leads and target accounts.<\/p>

      However, this data erodes over time as duplication, missing information, mistaken associations of data are common with go-to-market and business teams and best practices in data stewardship is not always maintained.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

          An ERP system is typically used mostly by enterprise companies and is far less common than a CRM system.<\/p>

          Typically, an ERP system does not co-exist with a CRM as it already captures most of the intended purpose of a CRM system. Although this may not necessarily be the case.<\/p>

          An ERP system is also much broader in its scope and cannot even be compared with a CRM.<\/p>

          ERP and EAM systems manage all functions including production planning, human resources, financial management and accounts in addition to go to market-specific operations.<\/p>

          These systems are typically in-use at enterprise accounts where the total volume of records is generally quite large and scattered making a data cleansing exercise far trickier.<\/p>

          The types of data cleansing changes from time to time.<\/p>

            Verdantis specializes in enterprise software solutions, particularly for asset-intensive organizations. Verdantis\u2019 MDM suite is a purpose-built software that for managing master data quality for data domains that are specific to production data.<\/p>

            The software is trained on data records specific to the below industries and deploys agentic AI for fixing data quality gaps across all master data domains.<\/p>

            The two modules available in Verdantis MDM suite are Harmonize and Integrity;<\/p>

            Harmonize<\/strong>:\u00a0 This module is focused on normalizing, cleansing and enriching legacy master data records by collating them not only from the ERP or EAM systems but also from multiple unstructured sources like supplier invoices, asset bill of materials, third party intelligence sources like D&B, ZoomInfo etc<\/p>

            Integrity<\/strong>: As the name suggests, Integrity is a module that solves for master data governance, covering the same data domains as mentioned above. This module integrates with multi or single-environment ERPs, master data stack or EAM systems to build a process and manages every master data record entry a the source itself.<\/p>

            The module Integrity is designed to ensure;<\/p>

            1. The time required for creation of a master data record is slashed<\/li>
            2. The accuracy and completeness (Integrity) of the master dataset is maintained as the records are created on a going basis<\/li><\/ol>

              The idea behind master data, ERPs and operational excellence, in general, is to reduce execution time for tasks and data entry, stewardship are functions that are resource intensive, especially in terms of human capital.<\/p>

              To reduce this, Integrity syncs with other enterprise modules and validates the record creation in real time \u2013 highlighting potential duplicates and missing mandatory information.<\/p>

              It also goes one step further and deploys AI agents to auto-complete missing information from verified third party sources like supplier catalogues, databases, intelligence software and even maintained list of websites.<\/p>

              The video below, showcases how Integrity operates within Verdantis\u2019 MDM suite to manage record creation and governs enterprise master data records on a going basis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
