Customer data
Lacking a unified view of customer data can severely impact customer first initiatives.
Examples of lost M&A value:
- Higher customer churn rates
- Increased customer service costs
- Missed cross-selling opportunities
Supplier data
Misaligning suppliers can have a trickle down effect in other business operations.
Here are a few examples of lost M&A value:
Risk of supply chain disruptions
Inconsistent delivery timelines
Lost opportunities to rationalise suppliers
Product data
Fragmented or poorly integrated product data can impact core business outcomes.
Here are a few examples of lost M&A value:
Increased holding costs and stockouts
Recalls and quality control issues
Low profit margins and wastage
Employee data
Slow integration of employee data has swift consequences on security and margins.

Best practices for successful
data integrations
Understand risks by using data
Leveraging data analytics can be helpful when trying to plan your data governance framework and data integration strategy. Make informed decisions, strategize risk mitigation plans, and avoid costly oversights.
Create a unified data governance framework
This framework sets the standards, policies, and procedures for data management across the two merging entities. Ensure data quality and compliance during and post data integration execution.
Pilot a Master Data Management tool
Start with a core domain like customer or prospect data. Implement the tool on a small scale to test and refine the data integration process. Create a replicable model and understand the tool’s capabilities.
Classify and profile data
Conduct an audit and detect data domains, sensitive data, redundancies, and potential integration challenges. Understand the data structure and quality to develop an effective data integration strategy.
Scale the data integration process
This process encompasses all data domains. Fully merge, cleanse, standardize, and enrich data from both companies. The result is a unified single source of truth that supports effective business operations.

Integration execution
-
Capture and consolidate data from a diverse range of domains with Ataccama’s flexible data model. Easily integrate all data types into a single source of truth across the merged organization and its systems.
-
Catch duplicate records, group them and gain insights. Identify anomalies, rectify them and set up a scalable process for the data integration process.
-
Ensure data lineage, relationships, and hierarchies are traceable and easily manageable for a more transparent data integration implementation.
-
Process any data volumes in complex, distributed data environments. Works on billions of records and handles millions of API calls from frontend applications without compromising performance.
-
The platform's architecture is designed to adapt to the load of data, ensuring seamless performance even during periods of high demand. This feature is particularly important during the initial phases of a merger when data volumes and system requests can spike unpredictably.
Value extraction
-
Use features like data quality evaluation, monitoring & reporting. See all data quality controls, trends and anomalies in one place, during & post data integration.
-
Leverage our data quality firewall to prevent bad data from entering your merged systems. Publish any DQ pipeline as a web service and use it from your own application to validate, cleanse, or enrich data.
-
Elevate overall data quality with generative AI-powered cleansing, remediation, and enrichment capabilities.
-
Connect to diverse sources, including databases, cloud platforms & message queues. Don’t rely on external tools to help you analyze and integrate merging systems.
-
Flexibly provide data to downstream applications, users or systems. Don’t compromise. Deliver both analytical and operational use cases for improved M&A results.
-
The Ataccama ONE configuration is separate from the processing engine and the deployment environment. Reuse configurations and save time testing and deploying your solution on different environments.
