Data profiling
An assessment of duplicates, gaps and conflicting values in the systems that hold each data domain.
Industry context
MDM, PIM and data quality in government and the public sector
We give each party, product, supplier or asset one trusted record, with matching rules and stewards agreed by the business.
Master data work is about matching rules, data ownership and stewardship rather than software alone. We profile your data, agree the rules with the business and set up the workflows people use to keep records correct.
Government entities work to national digital government standards, with Arabic-first services and public accountability for every change. Service owners, policy and planning departments and government IT need each decision recorded in a form that internal audit and the digital government authority can review. Arabic and English spellings of the same name, national ID and commercial registration numbers, and UAE and Saudi address formats each need their own matching rules.
We hand over with runbooks and training, and can stay on under agreed service levels.
Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.
What the work covers
We design, deliver and stay until operation is stable, with evidence your procurement and risk teams can rely on.
Matching and survivorship
Rules for matching records and choosing the trusted value, agreed with the data owners.
Stewardship workflows
Queues and approvals for data stewards, with quality measures reported to data owners.
Digital government frameworks
We align delivery with the standards of the authority that oversees your entity, such as TDRA and the UAE Information Assurance Regulation, or the Digital Government Authority and the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia, and plan sign-in through UAE PASS or Nafath where services use them.
Bilingual matching
Match rules that handle Arabic and English names, transliteration variants and local identifiers.
Distribution to consuming systems
Trusted records published to ERP, CRM and analytics through agreed interfaces.
