Inconsistent, inaccurate, and error-prone data proliferated throughout the database, causing downstream problems and compromising customer delivery. Prior efforts to address data integrity were not comprehensive and did not reveal the true causes, nor did they recommend workable solutions.
The assessment defined the specific data integrity issues at the field level, uncovered the true sources of the integrity problems, and produced an inventory of most affected areas and proposed remedies. Excella developed a thorough business case for solution implementation including alternative and cost-benefit analysis. The assessment also exposed several weaknesses in previously-proposed solutions. To address the human factors which also contributed to these problems, Excella created an entirely new status reporting and release tracking mechanism which provided tracking and publicity of semi-monthly releases for twelve applications; designed a more streamlined project plan focused on only the most critical tasks and deliverables, and integrated the project plan and status reporting into a common project-wide communication effort.
