ChainSys Approach

ChainSys Smart Data Platform, with its many pre-built extract and load adaptors, rapidly ingests data from your online or legacy enterprise application to Cloud applications.

ChainSys Smart Data Platform can also cleanse and transform data enroute to archival in your data lake, with their Data Quality and Master Data Management solutions, as needed. For example, if your SAP ECC legacy data has more than one source, or has duplicate customer, product, supplier, or resource records, those duplicates can be matched and merged. Data can be normalized, denormalized, or summarized as required, enroute to archival.

Lineage and reconciliation reports from SAP ECC source system to target archival data lake are automatically generated to meet data governance policy and satisfy auditors.

Once data has been extracted, cleansed, and archived, ChainSys offers a pre-built presentation layer with read-only access to a landing page / dashboard by common functional areas, for example, Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, General Ledger, etc. Authorized users can drill from their dashboard into detailed views of their archived master and transactional data.

ChainSys can also build custom view-only applications with their low-code application development platform.
