Cloud Computing and Sofware as a Service (SaaS) has transformed the way business software is delivered and used in recent years. It has enabled Clavis Technology to deliver a Data Quality solution that requires no installation of software, can be delivered anywhere inside or outside your organization, and requires little or no integration effort.

Clavis Data Steward is different from existing Data Quality solutions because it is delivered in the Cloud and it is focused on Data Quality problem prevention, i.e. the solution is architected to ensure Data Quality is controlled and monitored at the point where data is captured, originated or maintained. This document outlines the Clavis Data Steward Architecture Model and describes how the SaaS product is designed to easily scale across organizations and securely integrate with multiple applications and processes to deliver on Data Capture, Data Governance and Data Quality goals.
