Reference Data Audit

Align, Balance, Control

When the data that drives your organisation becomes out of line or inconsistent then problems will occur. Reference data is the DNA of the organisation permeating and replicating across the system architecture to deliver the offers and products promised. In environments where multiple platforms are required to translate offer to products to provisioning to network to rating to billing to reporting, maintaining a control over the consistency of platform data is key to ensuring that vision translates to implemenation.

Service providers have long sought a single source of truth, a single view of the myriads of offers and products, plans and rates, bundles and discounts, and implementation of those across the system landscape, a single view that can drive reporting and intelligence, a single view that provides proof of compliance and data governance.

Symmetriatm is Symmetry Solution's assurance solution which allows service providers to finally take control of their reference data.

Reference Data Audit and Control

Audit

Symmetria provides the ability to audit the data in your ordering, provisioning, billing and network systems against a master copy.
This is a 4 step process...

  • Import native system data
  • Transform into a common model
  • Map system values to readable text
  • Audit against master data 

As well as auditing this provides a clear view of what the systems contain and allows compliance, regulatory and general reporting.

Control

Maintaining profitability and protecting againt arbitrage and fraud requires that dialplans and interconnect rates are constantly monitored and systems and offers updated appropriately. 

The Symmetria reference data assurance suite helps both manage and optimise this data, and checks that changes propogate correctly through the systems landscape.

And by validating and logging all changes this supports strong data governance and control principles.

data is an asset
Data governance is the process of formally managing the quality and consistency of data through an organisation. Data is your asset, which if well managed, reduces cost and improves the efficiency of operations. The process control for data governance spans across the enterprise, preventing bad data from entering the stream, validating data implementations, and identifying and resolving issues in a controlled manner. 
Our version of data governance managed services is a little different to most

our prime aim is to improve 
Too often poor processes are outsourced and end up costing more, whilst getting no better, leading to ultimate dissatisfaction. Symmetry take a different approach. We will review the processes and systems and identify key improvements that we believe can be made. We will make the investment to make that happen and then equitably share back the results of that. Gradual but consistent change works best.
no big bangs, no fireworks
just solid focused improvement
