DataFlux Accelerator for Materials Data Improvement

 A faster way to standardize, normalize and integrate product and service description data

The Accelerator for Materials Data Improvement provides a solid foundation for creating clean, consistent product and service description data. This Accelerator can become the key enabler for internal and external reporting, business intelligence activities or advanced spend analytics by providing pre-built jobs and services designed to improve the quality of materials information.

The DataFlux Accelerator for Materials Data Improvement is a set of DataFlux real-time services designed to standardize, normalize and integrate product and service description data. These services can be accessed directly via web service calls to the DataFlux Management Server or the DataFlux Federation Server, or they can be embedded in other DataFlux real-time services designed using DataFlux Data Management Studio.

With this Accelerator, you can:

• Extract product attributes from text descriptions
• Standardize descriptions against various product taxonomies
• Identify redundant data by matching similar product or service descriptions

Features and Functionality

The DataFlux Accelerator for Materials Data Improvement adds value to existing materials data through an internal materials reference database – created from both external and internal sources – that delivers common product and service attributes. This helps you analyze the data on products and services more consistently by applying universal standards on data, regardless of the originating application.

With standardized and up-to-date materials data, you gain a consistent view of the enterprise through more efficient management and deployment of the information. This process also captures new data as materials, requirements and source systems change over time.
