The Need for and the Challenges with Data Enrichment
Data enrichment is the process used to leverage 3rd party data from an external authoritative source to enhance, refine or otherwise improve existing first-party data. By adding data from a third party, organizations gain additional understanding, deeper insights and improved operational efficiency through increased data quality (e.g. more accurate, complete and up-to-data information). And, the demand for high quality data is greater than ever. This is related to the industry-wide shift to a mindset of data-driven thinking. In Intelligent Enterprises, data feeds intelligence which in turn feeds process automation, innovation and insight. This leads organizations to seek out scalable methods for database upkeep and expansion.
And, scalability in the data enrichment solution is a key. In an independent market study among SAP customers, there was a common feeling that the cost of integration of third party data was higher than the cost of the data itself. So why is it so hard? It sounds simple, you take data from an external provider and inject it into your IT systems. However, the reality is that is hard to know what data exists, where it exists, whether it is up-to-date, and how to access it. Combine that with the fact that in large organizations, there is likely multiple versions and formats of the same type of enrichment data – possibly from different vendors – scattered throughout various departments and lines-of-business. In other words, multiple point-to-point integrations between various sources of third party data and business applications, scattered across the organization.
