ClearInfo DATA ASSEMBLY SERVICE
The ever-growing silos of disconnected information continue to challenge every organization. Currently, 80% of business data is unstructured. Understanding and linking structured and unstructured data can be difficult and time consuming.
This impacts organizations by causing:
- High operational cost
- Lack of data integrity
- Data accessibility
- Longer process cycles
- Inability to achieve a clean audit opinion
ClearInfo Data Assembly Service connects structured and unstructured data to deliver enhanced organizational data understanding and control. By implementing Data Assembly Service’s simplified steps, Federal agencies can expect the following outcomes:
- Eliminate Redundant, Obsolete or Trivial (ROT) data
- Identify and inventory any content
- Connect and unify data to improve efficiency
- Drastically speed up audit response times across all data types
- Make it easier than ever to bring data into compliance processes
- Improve decision making with complete actionable information
“A major financial audit challenge faced by the Department of Defense is the inability to connect and align structured and unstructured data,” said Ray Chance, Chief Technology Officer at ClearInfo. “The Data Assembly Service Platform is the perfect solution to address this challenge. The platform eliminates financial content silos and brings transactional data and key supporting documents together throughout the entire process life cycle to create a single source of truth. Implementing the Data Assembly Service’s financial management tools improves practices and moves the DoD toward a positive, clean and unmodified audit outcome.”
“Carahsoft is proud to partner with ClearInfo to bring the Data Assembly Service Platform to Federal agencies in need of tailored data integrity and accessibility services. This platform assists agencies in efficient decision making, audit preparation and compliance management,” said Ryon Williams, Sales Manager at Carahsoft. “ClearInfo has a proven understanding of the challenges facing agencies covered by the DoD Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) mandates, and we look forward to working with ClearInfo and our reseller partners to enable agencies to streamline the path to actionable and compliant data.”
