"Information Builders had the capabilities we were looking for," said Stacey Fedorka, vice president of Information Technology at AFL. "Their sales team quickly developed a proof-of-concept using our data and ultimately offered us a complete solution that met our timeline and needs."

Omni-Gen includes a pre-packaged customer data model, along with validation rules that simplify the process of identifying corrupt, invalid, or incomplete data, as well as correcting inconsistencies. This user-friendly software platform enables AFL to correctly associate customers and products across multiple business units. As the AFL sales team collaborates to sell everything from fiber optic cable to test and inspection equipment, having a unified platform for profiling, cleansing, and enriching ERP data will improve the customer experience and open up new cross-sell and up-sell opportunities.

Frank J. Vella, chief executive officer, Information Builders, said:
"IT leaders commonly refer to these initiatives as Master Data Management projects since they establish a unified repository of golden records that supports many different information systems. Global manufacturing firms, such as AFL, require a strong data management platform to ensure the strategic value of enterprise information. AFL is improving the way it does business by profiling, cleansing, standardizing, and enriching its ERP data."
