Clavis Technology Named “Cool Vendor” by Leading Analyst Firm

Vendors selected for the “Cool Vendor” report are innovative, impactful and intriguing

Dublin Ireland, April 23, 2010 – Clavis Technology, which develops and markets the leading cloud-based data quality solution for data capture and origination processes, has been included in the list of “Cool Vendors” in the 2010 Cool Vendors in Data Management and Integration* report from leading analyst firm Gartner, Inc.

Clavis Data Steward is a unique data quality solution for easily deploying centrally managed data validation and monitoring rules across widely dispersed data collection forms, applications and processes. The solution is delivered in the cloud as software as a service (SaaS) leveraging the power of the web to enable large organization to get their data right first time, regardless or whether it is collected in house or outside the company firewall.

“We believe Clavis’ inclusion in the Gartner Cool Vendors Report confirms the importance of addressing data quality at the true point of data capture,” said Garry Moroney, CEO of Clavis Technology. “Large organizations no longer control the origination of all of the data that is in key business systems. Much of it is created by trading partners, customers and suppliers. Clavis Data Steward is the first data quality solution that enables companies to deploy the same centralized data quality rules and controls in all data collection processes even when those processes are initiated by trading partners or customers.”

Data quality is always important, but when it comes to collaboration between trading partners the quality of the data takes on an even greater significance. Suppliers such as consumer goods manufacturers need to ensure that data conforms to their customers’ standards and formats - including large retailers - and those standards can vary from customer to customer. To avoid problems down the line suppliers need to ensure that new master data conforms to their trading partners’ quality requirements before it enters the customers’ systems.

Clavis Data Steward enables business users to deploy data validation and monitoring controls within existing or new data collection processes. It combines the advantages of having a single web portal for data capture, with the ease and convenience of keeping your existing data collection forms, applications and processes.
