Consolidate Data from Multiple Sources with it.data guardian: it.data guardian from NTT DATA Business Solutions is directly embedded into your master HR data system. Running on the SAP Cloud Platform, it.data guardian is compatible with SAP SuccessFactors and works with SAP Fiori. The SAP Fiori launchpad acts as a portal, allowing you to import and export data. You can import records from external sources such as legacy systems, SAP SuccessFactors, or spreadsheets, and export employee data reports. This consolidation of data from multiple sources makes it much easier to align all parties and maintain an overview of all employee information.
Gain Real-Time Access to Data with a Systematic Approach: With it.data guardian you will regularly store information in the cloud. Your administrators in all departments gain real-time access to the latest data. Data quality can be assessed via strategic dashboards. The clear visual representation makes it much easier for you to monitor activities. You can identify where processes are breaking down or where data needs to be cleansed using an automated data cleansing function. The cleansed data can then be transferred back into your master data system according to rules you define.
Finally, GDPR Compliance in HR with it.data guardian: Better transparency and quality of data is an essential part of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliance. However, the most important aim of the regulation is inherent in its name: data protection. As part of the it.data guardian solution, you are able to utilize NTT DATA Business Solutions’ own set of predefined rules and security policies or set your own – depending on your licensing. These rules and presets ensure that all data in the HR system is compliant with your company-specific rules and with the GDPR, too.
Benefit from the Highest Security Level: As it.data guardian is a solution based on the SAP Cloud Platform, users receive security from two trusted sources. In addition to the integrated security services of the SAP Cloud Platform, any data imported into a system must pass through a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server. This encrypts data during transit, ensuring utmost protection. Overall, you can rest assured that with the it.data guardian, the highest level of data quality and security is maintained. This leaves you more time to concentrate on the personal side of employee management.
