The CC CDQ: Data management solutions based on academic research

The Competence Center Corporate Data Quality is the expert community for master data management (MDM) and data quality management. The research outcomes of the CC CDQ are the result of co-innovation by research institutions and companies. The cooperating companies jointly prioritize the data management research topics, regularly exchange information with the researchers and jointly work with other data management experts within the CC CDQ community to develop innovative data management solutions.

The Corporate Data League (CDL): "Share Economy" for Customer and Supplier Master Data

The Corporate Data League, or CDL for short, is a unique network of global corporations for the joint maintenance of business partner master data, such as tax numbers, legal entity identifiers and other data. The companies jointly take care of the creation and maintenance of their customer and supplier data - and thus spread the work over many shoulders. At the same time, the data quality is massively improved, e.g. through more than 300 jointly defined data quality rules or the integration of more than 40 external, trustworthy data sources. Through the innovative data cooperation, fraud attempts with counterfeit bank accounts can also be reliably avoided. A common blacklist and a sophisticated rating system protect the CDL members from scamming attacks. Companies that want to protect themselves effectively against invoice fraud can become members of our Fraud Detection & Prevention Community.

One of our further focal points is the improvement of data quality prior to ERP migration, for example before switching to SAP S/4HANA. To this purpose, we offer innovative solutions using data enrichment, data validation and data curation, such as our S/4HANA Data Quality Package.
