ASG Technologies Empowers Business Users with Data Intelligence 9.0

SINGAPORE – July 27, 2017 – ASG
Technologies today announced Enterprise Data
Intelligence 9.0.  The solution’s new functionality solves a growing
business challenge as organizations are increasingly tasked with allowing business users to access, prepare and
analyze their own data. By delivering secure
self-service, Enterprise
Data Intelligence empowers business users to find
and use data to inform decisions, while ensuring the organization retains
visibility, control and compliance.

“Enterprises are increasingly faced with
regulations that require them to understand and manage their data no matter
where it lives or who interacts with it across the organization,” said
Swamy Viswanathan, EVP and Chief Product
Officer, ASG Technologies. “Enterprise Data Intelligence 9.0 adds value to
the business by allowing users to make better and faster data-driven decisions.
It also removes risk by enabling compliance and improving the understanding of
private information. We see this release as mission critical for enterprises
that need to control data while empowering business users with instant
visibility into all the facts of the information they are interacting
with.”

–        Timely
GDPR Compliance: Automatic Personal Data
Marking provides fast and reliable identification of data. With this feature,
personal data is identified throughout the entire data lineage providing
organizations with discovery capabilities, oversight and visibility to that
information wherever it exists.

o   Cascading function automates the
identification and visual representation of personal data in the data lineage
to ensure compliance throughout workflows

o   GDPR dashboards, reports and governance
processes help enterprises facilitate management of privacy compliance

o   Manual and automatic tagging enable fast and
easy curation of personal data

–        Updated
Regulatory Compliance: Growing need for proper data
management with increased regulatory requirements in the highly regulated
financial and healthcare industries, particularly around attaining BCBS239, CCAR,
IDMP and CGMP compliance.

o   BCBS 2399 and CCAR both require an ability to
demonstrate a detailed understanding of data derivation. ASG’s “Zero-Gap”
lineage provides the necessary visualization of data movement and
transformation to prove data traceability

o   IDMP requires data to be collected and
harmonized across multiple systems. The ASG Data Intelligence Data Inventory
supports identification of data relevant to any product as changes are made

o   FDA guidance on current goods
manufacturing  practice (CGMP) for drugs requires data to be kept
throughout its retention period with associated metadata required to
reconstruct the CGMP activity. The Data Intelligence repository keeps the
required metadata, and a record of changes, to support this essential
requirement

–        Business
User Empowerment: Ability to “like”
valuable information lets users bring their unique knowledge to exploit the
best data and make the most informed decisions across the business.

o   Self-service subscription capability lets
users request notifications of actions or changes to data that will notify them
if governance activities affect the sources they’re interested in

o   Data Quality Metrics allows inaccurate data to
be identified before it is used to make business decisions

–        Support
for the Complete Data Estate with “Find My Data”: Visibility
into the most useful data in traditional and legacy data stores, relational
databases, and the data lake provides for an enterprise-wide view of
information. It also allows for more streamlined governance while enabling
enterprises to discover and leverage the most valuable data across their entire
business.

o   Intelligent Data Catalogue (IDC) enables fast,
comprehensive full-text and faceted search across data stores

o   Ability for users to comment, reply to others’
comments and tag data directly as belonging to a common area of interest helps
others quickly get on the path of finding the most valuable, relevant
information

ASG’s open, API-first
approach enables a flexible ecosystem and expands on partner capabilities to
deliver more value to business users.

“The combination of
ASG’s Data Lineage and Syncsort’s market-leading Trillium Software System
presents data quality information in context, enabling users to pinpoint where
data is not within policy,” said David Hodgson, Chief Product Officer,
Syncsort. “Leveraging these capabilities, users can quickly locate and fix
problems to improve critical data so they can make better business decisions
and meet compliance and regulatory obligations as part of their governance
programs.”

ASG’s Data
Intelligence 9.0 allows enterprises to modernize and leverage data that enables
business users to make smart, informed decisions without risking compliance or
control. The product is now available at www.asg.com/intelligence.
