Challenge

A large transportation organization needs to have ready access to decades worth of shipping data. The existing data ranges from scanned manifests and databases to lading receipts and billing documents. The organization must be able to collate the transfer of materials to both internal and external entities to meet legal standards.

Pain Points:

Different database sources have different key values and structures
Print records range from detailed inventories to generalized data with cryptic nomenclatures
Scanned materials vary significantly in quality

Obstacles:

Multiple data sources, formats, and permissions
Data velocity is faster than the speed-of-business
Organizational issues artificially isolate data away from relevant groups
