Master data duplicates: Clean up with DCS Analyze!

Master data duplicates: Clean up with DCS Analyze!

In complex migration projects, clean master data is one of the keys to success. Thorough duplicate cleansing lays the foundation for all further migration tasks and ensures a smooth and efficient transition to the new system. Without a consistent database, there is a risk of redundancies, errors in business processes, and unnecessary additional costs. Learn from Fabian Bugl how to update and maintain your master data.

DCS Analyze is a powerful solution that analyzes master data across systems, identifies duplicates, and cleanses them using tables. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and intuitive controls, DCS Analyze sustainably improves data quality, creating an excellent basis for a successful SAP S/4HANA migration.
 

Master data optimization with reduced effort

Clean master data is the key to a successful system transformation. You can achieve maximum data quality with minimum effort – thanks to a predefined template for analyzing your SAP master data. The framework enables systematic analysis directly in your system without requiring significant internal resources. This allows your teams to focus fully on the success of the transformation project. 

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Less internal work: 
    Predefined templates and a standardized framework ensure efficient analysis. 
  • Flexible application:
    The analysis adapts individually to each system and scenario – you can also make cross-system comparisons.
  • Individual comparison parameters:  
    Customer-specific requirements and system environments are taken into account individually.
  • Clearly defined thresholds:
    Consistency thresholds are used to jointly decide what should be consolidated. 
  • Simple output: 
    The results are provided directly via Dynpro or as an Excel file – the ideal basis for semi-automatic consolidation.

Database-based cleansing: Efficient, comprehensive, and accurate

Duplicates are not merged using cumbersome methods such as mapping relationships, but directly at the database level—table-based and precise using DCS Migrate. This ensures that all dependent transaction data is correctly converted to the leading data record. 

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Audit-proof logging:
    Every step is documented and fully traceable.
  • Reversibility:
    Mergers can be reversed if necessary.
  • Test phases:
    Extensive testing guarantees error-free implementation.
  • Flexible Timing:
    Cleaning can be carried out as a work package before or during the transformation.
  • Individual control: 
    The customer can initiate the merge themselves via Dynpro and control which data is to be merged via an intuitive interface. 
  • Clear presentation:
    Leading and dependent records are clearly defined – transparency and user-friendliness are paramount.

DCS Migrate enables efficient, accurate, and flexible master data cleansing that can be seamlessly integrated into your transformation processes.

Flexible master data cleansing – upstream or integrated

Master data cleansing is a key success factor for any system transformation. You can carry out this process as a standalone, upstream project, or integrate it directly into the technical migration process. Both options offer their own advantages and are tailored to your individual requirements. 

Upstream cleansing:

  • Time transparency:
    Early cleansing of master data gives you planning security and creates a solid basis for the subsequent migration steps.
  • Resource time savings: 
    Upstream consolidation saves your teams time, as they can concentrate fully on the actual migration without having to worry about data cleansing at the same time.  
  • Early quality assurance: 
    Redundancies are eliminated and data quality is sustainably improved even before the migration - a clear advantage for the smooth running of the overall project. 

Integrated cleansing:

  • Technical efficiency gains: 
    Integrating cleansing into the technical migration process ensures the optimal use of system resources and shortens the overall runtime.
  • Seamless coordination:
    The close integration of cleansing and migration enables precise control and minimizes the risk of data inconsistencies.
  • Process flexibility:
    You can make changes or adjustments directly during the ongoing migration process without having to schedule additional project phases.

Whether you opt for upstream or integrated cleansing, with Natuvion you benefit from a flexible, efficient, and transparent solution that fits perfectly into your transformation strategy. This not only gives you higher data quality, but also greater planning reliability and resource efficiency.
