Operational Efficiency Aligned with Business Goals and Best Practices

Key components of the new offering include a metrics-based analysis of a customer’s current data management operations and procedures, a baseline gap analysis of the environment’s maturity as compared to industry best practices and specific business requirements, executive level recommendations, and transition planning.
