DEMS enables business executives to anticipate the impact of deviations from business policies or strategies and their impact on the business value.

DEMS consolidates resources and builds on the extensive investments already made by companies. It also forces a factual value-driven collaboration that engages end users from all levels in ultimate value creation

The Excellence Library is a centralised repository that defines and stores the Business Excellence Requirements (rules, policies and standards) to help you reach your business objectives. This repository is the backbone of the Data Excellence Framework methodology, the knowledge of the organisation and the starting point of the governance community.

It is through the Business Excellence Requirements that business and data are linked and this is also through them that the value of the data will be calculated. For each Business Excellence Requirement, you will have the possibility to define its full ecosystem including the related data attributes, the governance dimensions involved, the business object impacted, and any other business dimension involved (information systems, business processes, …).

Nowadays, the mass of information handled by companies is so voluminous that the classification of data and their proper understanding become challenges in their own right, especially when it comes to integrating new employees or ensuring the smooth running of teams. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a business glossary, a unique knowledge base, to which each employee can refer to discover, understand and integrate the concerns related to the data in circulation in the structure, in the department or in the company in the broad sense.

Product Key Features

DEMS helps to establish meaningful governance by providing flexible and configurable governance roles and by allowing stewardship assignment at many levels (Business Objectives, Business Excellence Requirements, Business Glossaries, Contexts and Terms of the Verbatim.

Based on your roles and responsibilities DEMS will automatically build your governance community and functionalities to manage and interact with it across the entire system.

Through the embedded ticketing system, people who are responsible for maintaining the data assets and people who are using them can interact and create tasks for each other to collaborate and experience sharing around the organisation’s data.

DEMS Agent links the Business Excellence Requirements with the information systems by combining both business and technical metadata. It can combine many different technical metadata structures from various databases, so, users can build their own connectors directly into the connection repository.

The Business Excellence Requirements Catalog of DEMS Agent is fully synchronized with the one from DEMS and for an easy definition of the Business Excellence Requirements technical logic, wizards are made available to users. For the Business Excellence Requirements requiring data deduplication, DEMS Agent includes a specific library with a dedicated definition wizard.

DEMS integrates global search capabilities that easily allows users to search for business terms, definitions, technical metadata… users can type a keyword and the system will look for context specific results. Optionally, you can get advantage of the natural language interrogation capabilities.

As soon as you connect DEMS verbatim to your databases, it will generate a dynamic semantic data model. This will automate traceability in the form of a semantic mapping that displays relationships to terms within a specific context. People can have a view of all business terms and related data. They can easily view variations, meanings, relationships, and business metadata. You can generate semantic models linking your natural language terms to your database terms including relationships. The overall goal of a semantic mapping data model is to map natural language semantic data model to the physical database data model that will enable high level of automation and artificial intelligence optimisation.

DEMS cockpits come with standard reports and dashboard capabilities based on your context and your roles to stay connected to your data.
At every level, Data Excellence Index (DEI) and Key Value Indicators (KVI) are automatically calculated. In the contextual cockpits, data can be aggregated by various dimensions such as business processes, Data Excellence dimensions, information systems, geographical entities, business domain, etc… for a meaningful and efficient governance of your organisation.

In the cockpit of your stewardship network, you will have the possibility to follow people from your governance community and to leverage our extensive collaboration capabilities to gain knowledge on your data.

For a non-invasive approach, you can subscribe to receive alerts to be pro-actively notified with all updates of your cockpits or when your indicators go beyond your pre-defined thresholds.
