Abstract

According to some embodiments, a processor may receive an original set of records and automatically transform the original set of records into a transformed set of records. The processor may also generate a visualization display including both a first graphical representation associated with the original set of records and a second graphical representation associated with the transformed set of records.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method, comprising:

receiving, at a computer processor of a master data services platform, an original set of records;

automatically transforming, by the computer processor of the master data services platform, the original set of records into a transformed set of records; and

generating a visualization display including both a first graphical representation associated with the original set of records and a second graphical representation associated with the transformed set of records.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the original set of records are received from a customer information platform.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said transforming is associated with a record consolidation process.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said transforming is associated with a record enrichment process.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the visualization display is updated in substantially real time.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation are each divided into sub-representations associated with geographic locations.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation are each divided into sub-representations associated with customer levels.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein a data steward'"'"'s work flow is prioritized based on an analysis of customer levels and associated sales data.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation are each divided into sub-representations associated with demographic attributes.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the original set of records include records from a plurality of data sources.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein said generating is associated with a business user data analysis tool.

12. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program code executable by a computer to:

receive, at a master data services platform, an original set of records;

automatically transform, by the master data services platform, the original set of records into a transformed set of records; and

generate a visualization display including both a first graphical representation associated with the original set of records and a second graphical representation associated with the transformed set of records.

13. The medium of claim 12, wherein the original set of records are received from a customer information platform.

14. The medium of claim 12, wherein said automatic transformation is associated with at least one of:

(i) a record consolidation process, and (ii) a record enrichment process.

15. The medium of claim 12, wherein the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation are each divided into sub-representations associated with at least one of:

(i) geographic locations, (ii) customer levels, and (iii) demographic attributes.

16. The medium of claim 12, wherein the original set of records include records from a plurality of data sources.

17. The medium of claim 12, wherein said generating is associated with a business user data analysis tool.

18. A system, comprising:

an original data store to provide a plurality of original records; and

a master data services platform to;

receive the original set of records;

automatically transform the original set of records into a transformed set of records; and

generate a visualization display including both a first graphical representation associated with the original set of records and a second graphical representation associated with the transformed set of records.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein said automatic transformation is associated with at least one of:

(i) a record consolidation process, and (ii) a record enrichment process.

20. The system of claim 18, wherein the original data store is associated with a customer information platform.

21. The system of claim 18, further comprising:

a business user data analysis tool, wherein said generating including transmitting information from the master data services platform to the business user data analysis tool.
