Data is emotive.
Whether we recognize it or not, have a vocabulary to describe it or not, express it explicitly or not, the data that exists in a business ecosystem becomes familiar and, ultimately, quite personal to the people who use it.
Data management is not free. Let me re-frame this, Good data management is not free. If you are not currently practicing rigid principles in maintaining your data and do not have a tracking catalogue history that integrates with the other business functions.
You are the right place with OceanData.
Receive the framework for enterprise data that you should be practicing to recognize value from this very strategic asset.
Think of it, if you know in infinite detail the way your business operates in near to real-time, your planning is more accurate, your operations continue to be refined, and your decision-making is supported by accurate, concise, and timely information. This is a competitive advantage.
Data conversions (migrations) are generally complex and time-consuming processes. They are one of the principal activities that need to be designed and executed ahead of the start-up of the deployment process of the new platform. Without the correct execution of the data conversion process, invalid, inaccurate and incomplete data could make it into the new platform, which would limit its ability to execute functions correctly.
This makes it imperative that the conversion approach is followed, which will require all parties to understand upfront their responsibilities and that there is clear and effective communication throughout the process.
Would you buy a new Lamborghini and put dirty fuel into its tank?
Would you expect it to perform as expected? Will you get the full value from this expensive purchase?
OceanData outlines the data conversion strategy and approach on how a transformation program will convert existing application data into the new platform.
Your Data is a strategic asset. What is your strategy to leverage your assets?
Some realize this early and are rewarded with a new ERP or CRM system that performs as expected. Others are not advised appropriately and only realize the value of data during the final testing or, worse, just after their new CRM software go live. Data quality and appropriate data migration programs are the single most common source of cost overruns on any software implementation.
Think about it, how can you determine whether the new business model is implemented correctly if you don’t know that the existing data is correctly transformed and is all included in the new system.
Data Migration: The basics
Most migration programs consist of combining one or more legacy systems and non-system data sources such as personal or department databases, data from website forms, and spreadsheets into a global template.
Did we mention spreadsheets?
Because they seem to run a part of any business consideringfor a process transformation.
Put technical activities in the language of business, this way any business can confidently engage with a system integrator to ensure that one of their most valuable assets, data, gets the power. and the structure necessary to use it fully.
What is the digital maturity of my processes?
Technology audit / What is the knowledge and expertise that feeds the business?
Business data is one of the most important pieces of information to manage in an organization.
This data is usually in the minds of employees and is shared as needed when training new resources.
This approach has had its day, because loyalty to the employer is no longer eternal.
Staff turnover means that with each departure, part of the knowledge of the company also leaves. There are several solutions to remedy this situation.
Product knowledge is one of the building blocks of an organization.
For example, how much does it cost to train a new estimator who will be able to price a project with enough precision not to jeopardize the profitability of the business?
In many such cases, the Product Configurator is a tool that could be used to manage most of the configuration or manufacturing rules for a product.

How to know the digital maturity of the company?
How to do a technology audit?
Digital maturity self-assessment is difficult to quantify without an assessment model and without competence in a wide variety of areas of expertise.
This assessment will be used in the development of a digital strategy adapted to the reality of the company.
The audit is the foundation for developing a digital strategy.
It sets the starting point and then draws up the roadmap to follow.
Purpose of functional analysis
The objective of the functional analysis is to optimize the current tools, to draw up the acquisition plan for future technologies, and to ensure their cohesion and integration, all this taking into account the business model.
How to measure the integration of technologies in the company?
Technology integration
A company’s digital technologies have often been acquired on the basis of specific needs, without considering their ability to integrate with the technologies already in place.
This consideration is, however, the key to achieving the highest levels of efficiency.
This sharing of digital information between departments or directorates or partner organizations is essential.
Software and application integration breakdown information silos and make it available to those who need it at their fingertips based on a keyword search.
Integration of technologies for automation
The integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) can be horizontal or vertical.
Horizontal integration refers to the integration of software solutions at different stages of manufacturing and planning.
The goal of this integration is to deliver data using the flow approach, in order to reduce the processing cycle from the receipt of the sales order to the delivery of the product or service.
Vertical integration is the integration of different equipment systems at different hierarchical levels (activators and sensors, controls, production management, piloting), in order to deliver a constant end-to-end solution.
Integration brings definitely added value to the processing of commercial, technical, and management of information.
How is the business affected by the proliferation of technologies?
The proliferation of digital technologies in the company will make integration more and more complex, although the trend is to move towards universal communication standards.
The need for integration should be seen as the foundation for achieving organizational effectiveness.
The quality and extent of integration of the various digital technologies used will qualify the company for its growth according to the advancements of Industry 4.0.
These different technologies (connectivity, Internet of Things, big data, etc.) make it possible to share information from your operations to software that processes the information and presents it in the form of performance indicators.
These indicators provide value-added information to the user as well as to the managers.
This information has direct consequences on operational performance and can even generate feedback on the process, increasing the level of intelligence of the company.
OceanData has a fabulous and hardworking team, we were able to achieve almost everything according to our wish list, we have great input from the team leader on their side at every stage of development. Our overall experience with OceanData is fantastic, they have great customer service, they deliver on time.
