Nowadays, many global enterprises are taking advantage of the technological palette of applications and systems to support their daily business scenarios. The number of processes or segments that can be automated is constantly increasing, which brings lots of advantages for the overall optimization and efficiency of the business.
This complex technological setup allows departments and teams to integrate worldwide, collaborate and work together. Simultaneously, the need for accurate data and updated business information is also increasing and plays an important role in the success of the automated process. Cross-system master data management (MDM) is a challenging task and performing it securely is vital, not only for the company but also for the clients and collaborators.
It's time to unlock the maximum potential of integrated information with BearingPoint Swarm.
Swarm is a tool that can collect and integrate your master data in a smart, secure, and automated way. It allows you to customize the data flow based on your business needs, and it guarantees information safety through connectors that communicate with your own ERP or non-ERP systems.
The Swarm efficiency comes from its five main features:
The forms are the best way to directly engage your vendors, clients, partners, or collaborators for a smooth process of master data creation, update, or validation. Based on your predefined contact list, your business partners will be able to fulfill & submit the information by accessing a link. Your business needs will dictate who is involved and how this information will be reviewed and approved. When the desired outcome is reached, the information will be automatically sent to the target system.
No matter if we are talking of general criteria for data collection that apply to most business partners or very individualized criteria that you want to achieve based on the business line, the existing templates and the variety of customized elements offer you the chance to optimally collect the data and integrate it as desired. Furthermore, the validation of this data and it's processing in real-time is also possible with the help of e-mail notifications that inform the involved parties about the status and required action.
It is time to let go of various communication channels, spreadsheets, and lots of human input for master data management. Swarm can be a trustworthy facilitator that brings multiple advantages for the accuracy and efficiency of the process. Other components like data validation, file uploads, and advanced input types simplify very much the work of the MDM responsible and assure the compliance of the overall business process.
