Like many large organizations, RPMI's Analysts were tasked with manually reconciling and validating financial data combined with a custom developed solution in preparation for downstream processes. Their data quality control processes were performed by Business Analysts who would run queries on data sources and marks, then feed that data to a Tableau dashboard, then use the custom developed tool to verify the data matched.
This manual, labor intensive process was directly impacting the team's productivity. An estimated 50% of the Business Analysts team's time, approximately 8 man hours per day, was going towards executing this manual process to validate the data.
Along with costing RPM valvable time and productivity, their manual approach exposed them to several areas of risk:
By using RightData, the Business Analyst team's productivity improved significantly. This has given the valuable time back to the team to focus on improving the business vs. executing data control processes. The compliance, credibility, and financial risk was also eliminated.
The proactive identification and alerting process along with a detailed validation exceptions report helped them in reducing the time to find the resolution of data quality issues.
