RLPTechnologies' OneView360 Helps Companies Overcome the Challenges of Disparate Data
Enterprise Information Management Solution Overcomes Information Silos
DETROIT, Aug. 21 / -- RLPTechnologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of R. L. Polk & Co., the premier provider of automotive information and marketing solutions, today unveiled the company's enterprise information management solution, called OneView360.
OneView360 is a comprehensive, integrated solution designed specifically to manage complex data management challenges. No longer do companies have to resort to lengthy integration efforts to implement multiple applications, with different interfaces to produce a common view of disparate data. OneView360 provides one common user interface and data processing engine to capture, enhance, compile and distribute quality data to drive timelier, objective decision making across the business enterprise - all in less time, with less risk and less cost than custom development efforts.
OneView360 was previously known as the Enterprise Information Factory during its 12-month development and implementation at R. L. Polk & Co, the world's leading compiler of product and consumer data for the automotive industry. RLPTechnologies solution has enabled Polk to increase its data processing performance by greater than 50 percent and streamline its IT infrastructure to significantly lower their IT asset total cost of ownership, while increasing scalability. Having done so, RLPTechnologies is now making its software solution commercially available to companies looking to manage their own enterprise data assets.
The Enterprise Data Challenge
According to a Gartner article, dated April 19, 2006, Achieving Agility: How Enterprise Information Management Overcomes Information Silos, by David Newman and Debra Logan, "The overall volume of information is expected to increase by a factor of 10 during the next five years."
The article also states, "Many organizations manage information in separate silos. The silo mentality results in higher costs, integration complexity, risk and duplication. Project-level information management techniques create different versions of the "truth," which compromise information quality, reliability, accessibility and auditability."
Studies by Forrester and The Data Warehousing Institute suggest that data quality problems currently result in billions of dollars per year in costs. Now more than ever, companies are reliant on the quality of their data and the technology that delivers it to keep them competitive in their markets. IT leaders must make the right technology decisions to provide their companies with effective tools to make better and quicker decisions, while keeping pace with the continuing data growth explosion by turning disparate silos of information into a business advantage.
"The main issue facing businesses is that customer experience management cannot be addressed simply by having CRM, business intelligence or data warehouse programs in place," says Thilo Koslowski, research vice president at Gartner, Inc. "They are important, but companies need to go beyond collecting data by focusing on enriching the data they have collected. Information must be managed like other strategic assets -- such as people, capital, real estate, distribution facilities and so forth. This starts with an organizational commitment and an integrative discipline known as enterprise information management. Successful companies will employ enterprise information management throughout their organization to ensure that the customer experience is maximized and serves as a true competitive advantage."
The RLPT Solution
OneView360 is designed to help businesses address the tidal wave of raw data that is generated in today's business environment and turn it into business value. The solution optimizes investments made in business intelligence systems by ensuring richer, timelier and higher quality data feeds.
"We had the advantage of starting with a "greenfield" design. Recognizing that corporations have an immense investment in legacy applications that have contributed to their past success, we designed an open system to protect those legacy investments," said Kevin Vasconi, president, RLPTechnologies. "By employing a service oriented architecture and using grid computing infrastructure, RLPTechnologies' OneView360 is able to greatly reduce cost, time and risk."
RLPTechnologies developed a technology and process solution that is built with the premise that modern, lean manufacturing principles can be applied to the efficient, integrated processing of large amounts of disparate data. The concept is a flexible set of modules that automatically transport and transform disparate, inconsistent and redundant data through a process of cleansing and enrichment. The outcome is a "single source of truth," ready to be called upon for distribution based on the needs of the business.
