Importing data in files is generally done fairly inconsistently. The user interface and someone’s personal preferences play a major role in this.
Aside from typographical errors, quite a bit of creativity is displayed in order to import as much data as possible into a space as small as possible, with the result being:

• Double orders,
• Double inventory,
• Incorrect invoices,
• Delays, etc.

Cleansing and better division prevents errors and improves efficiency.

Points of focus

The interpretation capacity of the cleansing software is especially crucial for complex data.  Concepts, languages and terminologies as well as combinations of words must be recognized automatically in order to realize uniformity.

Our solution

Data Cleansing by Calago can analyze up to the element. Intelligent interpretation mechanisms create synonyms and correlation word lists that are linked to attributes or properties.
After all information has been extracted, it can be assessed which properties still need to be added. Multilingualism can also be an option with this.

It is also possible to extract extra data from PDF documents, websites or other unstructured sources and to use these as an enriched source in the process.
After extracting all terms from the Knowledge Base, the information is actively available and flexible information distribution and Business Intelligence are possible at a high level.

Data Cleansing is delivered by Calago in two ways:

• As one-time service.
