We are using the solution for source data to put into a database to ingest all the data. We are using it to convert everything into a standard format. We use it to run over the content to ensure everything is running properly. It's great for ingesting data and standardizing everything.

Good ROI, great for standardizing data, and reliable
Pros and Cons
- "The rules can show us if there are missing items, like titles, and we can add them in to ensure everything is filled and makes sense and there are no missing details."
- "The spreadsheet capabilities could be improved."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
At the code level, using the solution on elements or functions makes it easier to insert or manage data. There are lots of elements or functions that we can use to create and standardize data. It helps us to find specific data easily. It helps to have the raw data and files standardized.
Currently, we are working on medical policies, and we have to follow instructions for specific functions, and this makes it easier to ensure everything aligns.
What is most valuable?
We're dealing with multiple types of data, and this solution helps to standardize it. Once items are in a standard format, we can validate them.
If there are errors or a title is missing, we can still find a way to check the information and make the necessary changes.
If there are a lot of items missing, we can make out own rules. We can, for example, ensure that if a title is missing, we can put information in there manually if it is missing from the source material. The rules can show us if there are missing items, like titles, and we can add them in to ensure everything is filled and makes sense and there are no missing details.
Over the last years, we've been working on the data side, and have found things are going better and faster. We like that we can use NoSQL with it.
It is scalable.
The solution is stable.
Techncial support is fine.
What needs improvement?
The spreadsheet capabilities could be improved. We need to convert spreadsheets into an open XML format. We have to do a few levels of conversions before we convert the data into the information we require. It would be ideal if the process could be a bit more streamlined to simplify the process.
When we convert to XML, there's a lot of unnecessary data, and we have to manually clean up everything before we can really dig in.
The solution is expensive.
