Commercial Business Partner Network For Master Data Management Launched

ALLSCHWIL, Switzerland - Dec. 21, 2015 - PRLog -- The burger consulting group is pleased to announce the launch of its fully-featured, fully-responsive web portal www.commercialbusinesspartnernetwork.com. The portal has extensive content including a series of articles about supplier- and customer master data, data governance, policy guidelines and procurement.  the portal design and development is based on the principles of social networking, using only open source technology to enable users and guests access to their business partners’ general master data.

Having developed the portal using the latest technologies and ensuring easy access to business-critical data, networked business partners further have the functionalities of creating events, groups and sharing general information that could be relevant to their business partners. With currently more than 30’000 organisations listed, and the number of new organisations being listed growing rapidly, the commercial business partner network is the first of its kind to offer valuable information in a secure and protected environment. In comparison to other social networking sites, the commercial business partner network guarantees accurate, complete and trustworthy data – accessible from any device. Whether from a desktop pc, a tablet or smartphone, users can access the data from anywhere – in the office, on-site with clients or suppliers, in the field or remote sites and in the comfort of their own homes.

In today’s world of having accurate and trustworthy data at all times, business processes critical to the success and profitability of an organisation depend on the quality of data in their erp-systems. Through the features and functionalities, the built-in checks and balances and the assistance of our technical and support teams, we make sure the whole master data lifecycle management components are compliant and governed by a set of guidelines and rules to deliver an end product with valuable data to our clients.

“through our research and discussions with a number of global, regional and local organisations, we have determined that one of the most critical phases of maintaining trusted master data, is the path and process chosen by the recipient of the data to have that information in their erp-system as soon as it any changes are made on the owner of the data.” says mr. Ferdinand burger, ceo of the burger consulting group. He continues by stating “we have listened to our clients, participants in short surveys and business partners in lengthy discussions and realised that organisations are simply challenged by the volume of changes taking place in their business partners’ master data, but receiving notification of those changes could in some cases take days, if not weeks to reach the employees responsible for capturing the data in their erp-systems. Another concern was the lack of legal supporting documents - often required when changes to business-critical fields are made (for example address data, a change in the partner’s name or the email address to be used for placing orders).”

With the development of the commercial business partner network portal, the data owner is the supplier or customer and the recipient is the business partner needing the information to do their business effectively. Data owners are responsible for ensuring that their business data are current and conform to our strict guidelines and when any changes are made, an automatically generated notification via email - and addressed to the identified person responsible for updating data in the recipient’s erp-system - is sent to all business partners in its business network.
