Master Data Custom Solution
At LHP, we make master data or the general concept of measurement system analysis (MSAs) a key backbone of our strategy to unlock analytics value for our customers. Without a successful Master Data approach, cross-functional multi-disciplinary enterprise analytics or IoT solutions simply can't or don't deploy their full value. As data is more widely distributed and used for a wider array of things, to drive continued connectivity, the Analytics & IoT team helps guide and implement successful strategies, architecture, deployment, support, and organizational change management of a master data program.
Portfolio
Highlighted below are some of LHP Analytics & IoT's large scale successes implementing master data for our customers:
Large Manufacturer 1 - LHP Analytics & IoT was engaged to build and develop features and applications of our customers’ Digital Twin and IoT initiative but, through the support we provided in the design and requirements of the applications, we identified a large gap in their data management process and no single source of truth or master data system. The team immediately white boarded a master data concept and system which four weeks later was accompanied with a PO to architect and build their master data service. This was probably our favorite story to tell our prospective clients.
Large Manufacturer 2 - LHP built out a parts and options numbering assignment system as well as the design of a part pricing system using master data components as the facilitator. This included an end-to-end engagement of requirements gathering, architecture, custom build, migrations, rollout, and organizational change management of the solutions. Paired with a custom access control management process this allowed our customer to appropriately apply the right roles and responsibilities to their processes to enable approximately 80% cost reduction on their employee hours.
American Senior Communities - Building a data management and collection system for their nursing workforce to enable outward reporting analytics to their insurance providers and hospital referrers. This included the design, build, implementation, and support of the system to enable analytics.
One Software Solution
Master Data solutions can be custom developed from the ground up to meet your needs and technology stack, augmented from existing systems, or using custom software out of the box such as from vendors like Microsoft.
Microsoft MDS is a hidden jewel from Microsoft as part of their SQL Server ecosystem and in general an underutilized solution to aid companies in their analytics journey specifically tailored around master data. It enables you to manage a master set of your organization's data by organizing the data into models, creating rules for updating the data, and controlling who updates the data. With the Excel add-in, the master data set can be easily shared with other people in your organization.
