Business Intelligence

Knowledge is power. This classic proverb is as relevant today as it was years ago. Everyone is looking for fast and
reliable information today to help them make timely informed decisions. In today's competitive business environment,
CIOs and CEOs are actively looking, at various means to reduce costs and maximize their revenues with limited
resources.

The recent global recession has fuelled back a lot of interest in Business Intelligence (BI), and it is taking on an
increasingly strategic role as more and more organizations look for ways to tap into the valuable data stored in their
operational systems.

A strategic Business Intelligence platform puts the right information in the right hands at the right time, which gives
managers and executives the ability to test various scenarios for business spending and investments while
monitoring important operational drivers of company performance.

In a nutshell, Business Intelligence is the art of sifting and analyzing specific business data in order to give a clearer
picture about the current business situation which, in turn, helps in making the correct decisions regarding a
business. This analysis can be in the form of a dynamic report which may even provide forecasting of future
performance and is of utmost importance to the company managers or executive staff in making the right business
decisions.

Without a proper Business Intelligence strategy, there will soon be fragmentation of data. Relevant data required at a
particular point in time will never be at hand and a lot of effort will be required in just gathering basic information from
various departments, which will require a lot of effort and waste a tremendous amount of time.

rillium Software System


THE POWER TO MAKE ACCURATE DECISIONS

The Trillium Software System® (TS) ensures that high quality information is always available to drive productivity,
decrease costs and improve ROI. Trillium helps companies maintain data integrity regardless of how, where, and
when it enters the organization. Imagine a funnel: at the top, data from any source, in any condition, goes in. It could
come from third party or custom applications, eCommerce or Web service platforms, ETL tools or legacy systems. It
could come in any language, with multiple or even contradictory standards, in any state of latency or decay. The
records may be jumbled, the fields inconsistent, the values misplaced—it doesn’t matter. When the data comes out, it
comes out clean, standardized and most importantly, actionable. The Trillium Software System is made up of four
components, namely TS Discovery, TS Quality, TS Insight and TS Director which make sure that there is no need for
any additional software, making Trillium a fully integrated solution.
CLEANSE, MATCH & UNIFY ALL DATA

TS Quality delivers data parsing, standardization, cleansing and enrichment capabilities for multi-national enterprise-
wide data, and the ability to implement data quality processes in high-performance, real-time environments. Services
can be deployed in batch or real-time using the same rule sets and standards across an unlimited number of
applications and systems, which provides the promise for maximum scalability, without any problems in the level of
output. Unlike many competitive solutions, data profiling output seamlessly transitions into the data quality engine.
This further automates the process of receiving high quality output from any type or condition of input data which
leads to a very quick response time with little human interaction required.

AUTOMATED DATA PROFILING

TS Discovery creates a bottom-up analysis of your data, revealing weaknesses, gaps and opportunities for
improvement that otherwise might remain hidden by exposing data content and context, data structure and patterns,
data integrity and business rules, and relationships and referential integrity. It empowers users to design, validate and
deploy custom business rules quickly and efficiently which enables business and data analysts to assess large
volumes of data within and across systems collaboratively. TS Discovery routinely assesses data to ensure that high
quality is maintained at all times and monitors production systems for anomalies. Delivering a more comprehensive
understanding of enterprise data across systems translates to more accurate project planning, scoping, and feasibility
assessment and reduces risk in meeting daunting project deadlines and aggressive budgets.

A BROWSER-BASED WINDOW ON YOUR DATA

TS Insight is a data quality dashboard that allows business users to rapidly assess, monitor and control the status of
data and the progress of governance initiatives. It creates configurable, graphical reports from summary information
generated by the Trillium Software System that help teams and stakeholders get a quick view at the current situation
with a configurable level of detail. It helps to show how the output data from the Trillium Software System compares
with enterprise data quality standards by using validation checks, thresholds and compliance levels. TS Insight is also
able to rate the reliability of data by assigning individual data quality scores which provides a direct and easy to
comprehend view of the quality of output. These scores can also be aggregated for comparison with other batches of
data and in order to increase the relevance of a specific type of data to organizations, weights can be assigned to key
data quality processes, reports and decisions.
DEPLOY AND MANAGE REAL-TIME

TS Director is a complete data quality application server. It delivers high-performance cleansing and matching
services across multiple platforms, servers, and applications. Using the Director, organizations can integrate and
deploy batch and real-time data quality projects in multiple environments on a large number of computers while
maintaining a single instance of the Trillium Software System which reduces fragmentation and ensures compatibility
of all data across all workstations. It’s unique ActiveEnterprise™ Resources functionality enables users to centrally
define, deploy and manage data quality processes in real-time environments with a powerful set of menu options,
controls, and tools such as the option to automate the Trillium Software System deployment by integrating with
enterprise and custom applications such as SAP, Siebel, Web Services, C/C++/C#, or JAVA.

Trillium Software System was placed as a Leader in the 2010 Forrester Wave Enterprise Data Quality
Report 2010.

As per Forrester –
“This allows Trillium to effectively position itself as the undisputed leader in pure-play data quality
software vendors. Trillium differentiates itself with consistent best-of-breed data quality positioning and a
completely open solution that has no bias toward any enterprise application, BI platform, ETL, and so on.
Forrester sees Trillium very often on vendor shortlists from large enterprises that are considering an
investment in data quality."

Forrester Research evaluates a specific set of data quality vendors in several key categories including
architecture, functionality, security, data stewardship, product strategy, corporate strategy, installed base
and employees. The scores are then aggregated according to how detailed the vendor is in a category
and then placement of the vendor is distributed on the Wave graphic.

Len Dubois, SVP of marketing for Trillium Software says “We offer our customers the best way to extend
high data integrity across their entire enterprises. We accomplish this by optimizing their information from
point of capture straight through to analysis in order to align data with complex business processes, and
make it fit-for-business purpose.”
