South Harwich, Mass. (PRWEB) April 26, 2016 -- BackOffice Associates, a worldwide leader of information governance and data modernization solutions, today announced Version 6.5 of its flagship Data Stewardship Platform (DSP) and debuted its newest dspConduct application for comprehensive business process governance and application data management across all data in all systems.
“Next-generation information governance is necessary to maximize the value of an enterprise’s data assets, improve the efficiency of business processes and increase the overall value of the organization,” said David Booth, chairman and CEO, BackOffice Associates. “Our continued vision and offerings are designed to help organizations embrace the next wave in data stewardship.”
dspConduct is built on DSP 6.5 - the most powerful data stewardship platform to date. With this latest release, the DSP continues to drive the consumption and adoption of data stewardship by linking business users and technical experts through the business processes of data. By introducing new user experience paradigms, executive and management reporting, extended data source connectivity, and improved performance and scale, the 6.5 release continues to expand the platform’s capabilities and reach.
dspConduct helps Global 2000 organizations proactively set and enforce strategic data policies across the enterprise. The solution complements master data management (MDM) strategies by ensuring transactions run as planned in critical business systems such as ERP, CRM, PLM, and others.
