Silver Creek Systems is the leading provider of Product Data Mastering tools and technology. While traditional tools founder on the complexity and variability of product data, Silver Creek Systems uses breakthrough semantic technology to allow companies to ‘master’ their product data quickly and more efficiently than ever before — reducing costs and driving efficiencies across the business.
Many technology solutions focus on well-structured data, such as customer data, but the larger problem is in the less structured product, parts, vendor and related business data — where there are fewer standards and much more variability.
Data Mastering is all about getting your data ‘right’ and keeping it ‘right’ so that it can be shared, integrated and repurposed across the business. Data Mastering includes elements of Data Quality, Data Integration and Data Governance and is a foundational requirement for any Master Data Management program or related data cleanup, standardization, integration, consolidation or migration initiative.
Although a full MDM or PIM (Product Information Management) program can be difficult to cost-justify, a Data Mastering approach can provide much of the value at a fraction of the time and cost — and in any case, getting your data right is the first step towards any MDM or PIM program.
The DataLens® System uses semantic technology to recognize and transform complex, unstructured and unpredictable data from any source — overcoming the fundamental limitations of traditional data quality and integration approaches.
