- The solution involves migrating legacy data into a Staging schema. The Staging schema then implements various rules for data de-duping, consolidation and migration.
- Custom Business rules are built to implement the data cleansing rules.

- Implemented workflows that enable end users in completing business processes with a high level of accuracy thereby reducing administrative costs.
