Manual data maintenance in global shared service centers is error-prone due to missing link of data worker and given use case. Reference data for enrichment is not available in 1 data source but has to gathered country-wise from several sources per country. Given records are matched against reference data and shared data, and missing or wrong attributes are added or replaced. Enrichment works in real-time for single records, e.g. in a workflow, or in batch processing jobs. Legal addresses can be identified in records with multiple addresses or added. The same for registered addresses (e.g. from tax authorities). Tax numbers and other IDs can be added, and legal names, legal forms, company status, etc. |
