How we can help manage data for your business?

We help our clients identify and lay out architectural components that provide a framework to facilitate storage, integration, usage, access, and delivery of data assets across the enterprise. By providing a holistic approach to defining data management practices across all enterprise and digital data streams, we help enable our clients to derive the most value from their critical master data assets and, at the same time, ensuring the quality of the data and the consistency of delivery and use of that data across the enterprise.

Next, the clients ask "How can I align both business and technology with all the needs?"

We perform detailed stakeholder identification analysis to develop adoption campaigns. We bring our technical experience, as well as our business perspective, to empower analytics advocates to garner support from key stakeholders and sustain adoption and expand analytics across the organization.

We create user personas and journey map to help define key roles within your organization – their business needs, pain points, and desires to identify insight into your data and the analytics needed to enable data-driven decision-making. We help you define the strategy for establishing Analytics Centers of Excellence to drive your analytics strategy and assess your analytics maturity through the expansion of incorporating analytics-leading practices and building resource capabilities.

Case Study

Challenge/Opportunity: The client, one of the largest discount retailers in the United States, has implemented various applications that capture customer data for multiple sales channels. However, there is no ‘golden record’ for each customer that the client can use to implement a multichannel strategy. Customer data generated in multiple systems is inconsistent, and has created issues for the client to effectively market products and services to target customer base. Limited data validation and inefficient matching process lead to duplicate customer records in the data warehouse. Lack of governance process, policies, and organization has led to inconsistent customer definitions across channels and multiple manual interventions to resolve customer data issues.

Solution

  • Holistic analysis and detailed design sessions to identify business requirements
  • Collection of customer data from several sources, probabilistic matching, identification of suspects, and persistence of customer records based on survivorship rules
  • Identify 'households' of customer per agreed-upon business rules
  • One-time initial conversion of data from legacy data warehouse into master data management (MDM), followed by daily, weekly, and monthly incremental batch loads
  • Incremental real-time feeds for newly added sources and consumers and any future source or consumer
  • MDM integration with data enrichment sources for guest addresses and demographics information

Impact

  • Approximately $11M savings for the client to stand up global data management (GDM) in a timely manner and having guest data available for the downstream analytic reporting systems
  • Achieved a 360-degree view of its guest to facilitate personalization of the guest experience
  • 20 percent growth in online sales
  • Delivered an industrial strength solution to scale with guest count
  • Archived valuable legacy guest data from other operational systems

Potential Deloitte Benefits

Deloitte can also assist more mature Data Governance organizations to operationalize more effectively.
