• Challenges – Data Validation
– The process of comparing 2 (or more) sets of numbers to identify
discrepancies in order to ensure accuracy and data quality
• When Should Data Validation Be Performed?
– System Upgrades
– System Changes
• Redesigns
• Hierarchies
– Application Migrations
– New System Implementations
– Intersystem Reconciliations
• HFMEssbase
Data Reconciliation Approach - When?

• Traditional way of Validating data
– Printed reports
– Access database
– Excel workbooks
• Challenges
– Lacks Granularity
– Inefficient
• Manual end user execution
• Application performance
– Lacks auditability and version control
• When was the process run
• When were formulas changed
Data Reconciliation Approach – Why
?

• Bring data into a common interface (Import)
• Align data between the different sources (Map)
• Check variances (Report)
Data Reconciliation – How?
