The Business Challenge As businesses spend large amounts of money on powerful enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and soluons that enable regulatory compliance, a queson arises: “how valuable are these investments if the data tracked and reported is incorrect?” The large volume of producon data creates significant roadblocks to a company’s capacity to manually verify the accuracy and validity of this data. As a result, decisions are made using inaccurate data, and process inefficiencies are not idenfied in a mely manner. Modern operaons require valid and approved informaon at all mes at all levels of the organizaon; from the plant floor to the business layer.
