Client Background
The client is a prominent player in the manufacturing industry, headquartered in Dubai, UAE. Known for its high-quality industrial solutions and rapid expansion across global markets, the client faced increasing complexity in managing enterprise data as its operations scaled.
Challenge
As the client evolved to meet the demands of a dynamic digital economy, it encountered several challenges in managing its IT ecosystem—particularly around master and reference data. These data assets were dispersed across numerous applications, resulting in fragmented governance, inconsistent standards, and outdated repositories. To support its ambitious growth trajectory, the client sought to initiate a robust data governance program that would ensure enterprise-wide data accuracy, consistency, and accessibility.
Solution
As a strategic digital services partner, Ancrew Global implemented a custom-built, cloud-based Master Data Management (MDM) platform using an agile and iterative approach rooted in design thinking. This platform was engineered to maintain high standards of data quality, lineage, and reconciliation across the enterprise.
A key feature of the solution was its “what-you-model-is-what-you-get” design methodology, which allowed the creation of fully configurable applications in real time—eliminating the need for repetitive and resource-intensive development cycles. This flexibility enabled faster deployment and higher adaptability to evolving business needs.
Ancrew Global’s MDM platform became the single source of truth for the client’s business data,nseamlessly integrating with various applications and processes. The agile data models supported advanced search functionality and intuitive user experience, enhancing decision-making and compliance efforts.
