Data Cleansing

Cleansing and Augmentation of Your Data

Most companies suffer from poor data and need to have it cleansed to obtain any level of business value. DFR offers a variety of cleansing and validation tools to make data cleansing as easy as possible. We also make it easy for customers to load supplemental data from other source systems into the DFR database. When we migrate data, we can help customers auto-cleanse and classify their data using some of our migration tools. It depends on the state of your part descriptions, attribute data or part numbers in terms of what we can do with automating data clean up. Another option for helping customers with data cleansing is to go with the outsource model. Several of Convergence’s customers have set up DFR in other low cost countries to enable economic cleansing of their data. Convergence can recommend and implement different options for a customer depending on whether they have access to these types of resources.

Convergence also partners with third party content providers including Information Handling Services to help with data cleansing. IHS offers a variety
