Caldic selects Syniti

Caldic, a global distribution solutions provider for the life and material science markets, will use Syniti’s Knowledge Platform (SKP) to help improve its data quality and build a global master data management (MDM) platform for active data governance. This will allow Caldic to work with clean data, now and in the future.

Recently, Caldic expanded significantly following strategic mergers and acquisitions, positioning the organisation as a key industry player with a strong foothold in four regions around the world. With global coverage, the opportunity arose to build a unique, integrated platform in the distribution industry that facilitates the company’s business partners’ digital journey at a global scale. As a result of these strategic investments, Caldic has multiple separate ERPs and IT infrastructures. Syniti will work with Caldic to help optimise data quality and to apply data governance across the globe on the different ERP systems; the company is investing in data quality, harmonisation, and governance in its systems to enhance the efficiency of commercial operations and help make it easier for customers to unlock value when doing business with Caldic.

Furthermore, these efforts will solidify a strong data foundation to enable faster integration of future acquisitions and data migrations, help to improve time to value and to ensure that additional strategic efforts can be more secure, risk-averse, and cost-efficient.

· An experienced partner solely focused on data with a proven track record of delivering successful outcomes in data optimisation, data quality management and master data management for the world’s largest organisations.
