Data workstream turnaround

Gartner research found that globally from 55% up to 75% of all ERP projects fail

Many companies rolling out ERP systems hit snags when it comes to importing data from legacy systems into their shiny new infrastructure. When Target was launching in Canada in 2013, they assumed they would avoid this problem: there would be no data to convert, just new information to input into their SAP system.

But upon launch, the company's supply chain collapsed, and investigators quickly tracked the fault down to this supposedly fresh data, which was riddled with errors— items were tagged with incorrect dimensions, prices, manufacturers, you name it. 

Turns out thousands of entries were put into the system by hand by entry-level employees with no experience to help them recognise when they had been given incorrect information from manufacturers, working on crushingly tight deadlines. An investigation found that only about 30 percent of the data in the system was actually correct.

A significant part of Kagool’s business has been to rescue highly distressed data workstreams implemented by incumbent third-party partners or in-house programmes. We are leaders at understanding and reverse engineering complex, fragmented, and disparate data workstreams, while providing robust solutions to these challenges.

Kagool has expertise in:

• Reverse engineering and modelling existing complex data flows to understand critical issues
• Methodically remediating any critical workstream failures with interim and permanent IT solutions
• Formulating compliance mechanisms and controls so workstream failures do not recur
