TimeXtender Data Governance (DG) is a comprehensive tool that facilitates seamless collaboration between IT and business users, ensuring that data governance objectives are aligned with business goals. The real-time monitoring and remediation features significantly enhance the reliability of data processes, simplifying the data governance landscape. Whether it’s finding exceptions in the customers data or orchestrating complex data processes, TimeXtender DG provides a platform to address the diverse data needs of an organization, propelling it toward a data-driven operational paradigm.
TimeXtender DG is a desktop application and web-platform that contains two products, TimeXtender Data Quality and TimeXtender Orchestration.
The most common use cases for TimeXtender Data Quality are:
- Detect and correct data input mistakes causing errors in their data warehouse
- Ensure source data is updated correctly, avoiding issues like empty exports from systems
- Identify and rectify mistakes in customer business processes
- Assign ownership to data errors
The most common use cases for TimeXtender Orchestration are:
- Manage complex processes that require multiple schedulers in different locations
- Visualize execution packages and other processes in a process map for on-prem and cloud solutions
- Business users can directly trigger execution packages and processes from the online process map. This empowers business users to re-run execution packages and processes that might have failed, enabling handover of first-level support to customers or support teams
- Handle processes dependent on reading flat files from third-party sources, such as FTP
- Resolve frequent data process failures due to technical issues
The tool helps businesses to gain control and trust in their data by monitoring it around the clock to detect any potential issues in the quality of the data, and its integration with other systems. DG is a pragmatic, instant value-oriented platform that makes sure customers gain value immediately, without expensive and time-consuming implementations.
There are two DG interfaces: DG Desktop and DG Web
