Gatekeeper Overview
When you are setting up a data governance organisation there is a lot of change to consider, so choosing a software application which has all the right MDM features, available off the shelf, but flexible enough to fit your specific business model gives you one less thing to worry about.
Gatekeeper allows you to establish a single process for the creation and modification of material master records across all of your operating companies and systems. It features significant workflow and data control mechanisms to ensure high quality information, compliant with your corporate standards, is attained with minimal effort.
The software combines both materials data governance and data synchronisation in a single hosted application and has the built in logic and structures to handle complex data requirements, including different versions of item descriptions, varying field lengths and information structures across many systems and databases.
By using the same technical dictionary and catalogue structure as our data cleaning application, Masterpiece, Gatekeeper ensures that once your materials data has been cleaned, it will remain permanently clean. More generic MDM solutions do not provide this degree of detail and are focused on keeping consistent records across different databases, rather than the correctness and completeness of the data.
Implementation of Gatekeeper will allow you to create new material descriptions quickly and comprehensively, capturing the correct data and preventing duplication. Your key suppliers can provide master data directly, including information on part supersession, thereby reducing order errors and increasing your procurement efficiency.
Gatekeeper is available directly through a web browser, as a web page accessed from your own portal, or via a set of web services to allow rapid integration to your existing material management processes and systems.
With Gatekeeper, your central master data team can invest time looking forward and thinking strategically rather than wasting time managing communication channels, catching up with the inevitable backlog of item requests, or fixing all the local data entry mistakes.
