Clavis Technology Releases Data Quality Steward; the First Operational, Pre-emptive Data Quality Solution Delivered in the Cloud

Dublin Ireland, March 17th 2009: Clavis Technology today announced the latest release of its leading Operational Data Quality solution Clavis Data Quality Steward™.

Clavis Data Quality Steward is the first Software as a Service (SaaS) offering that provides data quality controls and governance in upstream data creation and data update processes. The on-demand solution enables organizations to get their data “right first time” by implementing data quality rules at the points where data is first created and thus reap the benefits of high quality throughout the enterprise for longer.

“The Clavis Data Quality Steward is different from many existing data quality solutions because it is focused on data quality problem prevention and Operational Data Quality,” said Clavis Technology CEO, Garry Moroney. “Experience has shown that problem prevention is the only practical approach to eliminating poor data quality as a business barrier.”

Already in use across a number of global manufacturing companies, Clavis Data Quality Steward provides huge efficiency gains to data governance and data administration teams responsible for overseeing the delivery of high quality master data from across the business. It provides complete visibility of data quality levels across multi-functional processes to enable data managers to tackle problems early.

Clavis Data Quality Steward is easily integrated with upstream data capture forms and applications (such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, web forms, rich Internet applications or Adobe Flex) as well as enterprise applications such as SAP, thus ensuring an organization’s key business data complies with internal and external standards from the start. The product is delivered in the cloud as a SaaS solution, which means it can be cost effectively rolled out across organizations and their trading partners, customers and suppliers, enabling the broad collaboration that is critical for data governance to succeed.
