Balancing robust scalability with cloud features enhancements for streamlined operation

We're implementing this solution to assist our customer service in gaining a more comprehensive view of their environment. They currently manage over two hundred applications but lack a clear understanding of which ones are critical, especially concerning compliance in the insurance industry. By implementing it, we aim to alleviate the burden, identify redundant processes, and streamline their operations. It's about addressing these specific needs and optimizing their workflow. We're focusing on aligning the features with their requirements, and they are making significant progress on this journey, helping each of their companies move towards a centralized and efficient approach.

Has robust data governance capabilities and efficient financial alerting features

The platform's robust data governance capabilities ensure strong compliance with regulatory standards. Our dedicated data governance team is responsible for setting policies and monitoring data access and usage. Additionally, we have a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and an independent InfoSec team that work together to enforce these policies. This multi-layered approach ensures that data governance is effectively managed and compliant with all necessary regulations. It is integrated with SQL and Power BI servers for executive management dashboard reporting. This integration supports comprehensive data analysis and reporting needs, which was a key factor in our decision. The value of using vCenter lies in its comprehensive data infrastructure management. It significantly enhances our reporting, day-to-day decision-making, and analytics capabilities. Integrating SaaS with vCenter adds value by streamlining key functions and improving overall organizational efficiency. The solution can be considered expensive, particularly due to infrastructure, maintenance, and ownership costs. The long-term savings and efficiencies gained from using vCenter can justify the investment for large organizations. However, the high costs might not be justifiable for smaller organizations with less data and fewer resources. Conducting a thorough cost-benefit analysis based on the organization's specific needs and scale is recommended. I rate it an eight.

"The platform's robust data governance capabilities ensure strong compliance with regulatory standards."

"I find the solution to be very stable."

Cons

"The on-premise features are undeniably robust, but having equally powerful capabilities in the cloud would be a significant enhancement."

"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."

"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."

"Integration and cloud migration are areas where we see potential for improvement."

"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."

"The solution could use better documentation."

"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."

"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."

"There is significant room for improvement, especially with regard to using a hybrid approach that involves both CAS and persistent storage."

Overview

When a growing number of users interact with and visualize an increasing volume of data, solid governance practices can ensure that every stakeholder can get the insights they need, while the timeliness, integrity, availability, and security of data sources is fully preserved.

Omni-Gen delivers multi-domain enterprise data governance for business users through the Omni Governance Console. A domain is a data construct containing all the values that are relevant to that data type. Multi-domain data means more than one type of business entity is being governed. Built-in authorization for each domain ensures that each user has the capabilities that are right for their role and the software being licensed. Users can configure customizable workflows to provide automatic alerts when data quality problems require intervention.

Information Builders

Every decision, every business move, every successful customer interaction - they all come down to high-quality, well-integrated data. If you don't have it, you don't win. SAS Data Management is an industry-leading solution built on a data quality platform that helps you improve, integrate and govern your data.
