Connected successfully Asset Data Quality Management & Governance Solution for EAM

Why Does Every Asset-Intensive Business Need A Data Quality and Governance Solution?

In asset-heavy industries from manufacturing, energy and utilities, oil and gas, to aerospace and defence, enterprise data is the heartbeat of operations. When that data is inaccurate, duplicated, or outdated, it doesn’t just slow things down. It breaks trust, derails decision-making, and jeopardizes entire transformation initiatives like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) upgrades.

The Unique Challenges of Asset-Intensive Businesses

Unlike other sectors, asset-intensive organizations face unique data challenges that amplify risk and cost:

Complex Asset Hierarchies:

From equipment to parts and spares, each asset has a detailed taxonomy that must be consistently defined and maintained across systems.

Multiple Systems, Disconnected Data:

Legacy systems (ERP, CMMS, EAM) often contain overlapping or duplicated master data each with its own rules and formats.

Time-Sensitive Maintenance Data:

Delays or inaccuracies in maintenance history, calibration records, or warranty data can lead to downtime and safety issues.

Inefficient Operations:

Bad data leads to overstocking, underutilized assets, procurement delays, and time wasted searching for reliable information.

High Compliance Pressure:

Regulated industries face strict mandates for traceability, audit readiness, and data-driven compliance reporting.

All of this means that your data needs to be accurate, harmonized, and governed—before your systems can deliver real value.

That’s why every asset-intensive business needs more than just a cleanup tool.

You need an end-to-end Asset Data Quality and Governance Solution.

PiLog’s Data Quality and Governance Suite: AI-Powered, SAP-Endorsed, Future-Ready

PiLog’s Data Quality and Governance Suite, a SAP Endorsed App, is engineered specifically for organizations managing complex asset structures. It brings together lean management principles, ISO standards, and AI-driven content to enable true lifecycle data excellence across your ERP, CRM, and CMMS environments.

What’s Inside the Suite?

This robust solution bundles five essential components to address every phase of the data journey. Here’s a deeper dive into what each core component of PiLog’s Data Quality & Governance Suite brings to asset-intensive enterprises:

1. Data Governance

”Real-time governance of 20+ data objects, fully integrated with SAP S/4HANA via BTP.”

Governance that scales across the enterprise—continuously, not episodically. Most data issues resurface because companies treat governance like a one-time project. PiLog flips that model by enabling continuous governance across over 20+ critical data objects, such as materials, equipment, suppliers, customers, and functional locations.

What Makes This Powerful?

  • ✦ Real-time validation against business rules during data entry
  • ✦ Automatic detection of duplicates, missing attributes, or outdated records
  • ✦ Role-based approval workflows and audit trails
  • ✦ Seamless governance integration with SAP S/4HANA via Business Technology Platform (BTP)
  • ✦ AI Lens, conversational AI

Result: You create a culture of data accountability that extends from field technicians to procurement to finance, ensuring trusted data flows through every business process.

2. Data Quality

”Cleansing, classification, categorization, and enrichment to ensure accurate, trusted data across systems.”

Clean, categorize, and enrich your data using AI, not spreadsheets. Poor data is more than a nuisance—it’s a silent cost center. PiLog delivers comprehensive data quality checks and enrichment workflows that ensure your master data meets ISO standards and domain-specific best practices.

Capabilities Include:

  • Data cleansing to eliminate duplicates and inconsistencies
  • ✦ Classification and taxonomy alignment for easy searching and structured reporting
  • ✦ Auto-enrichment of missing fields using intelligent defaults and external content libraries
  • ✦ AI-driven suggestions that learn and adapt to your business logic

Result: Your ERP, CMMS, and EAM systems stop being filled with clutter and start delivering clean, searchable, decision-grade data.

3. iContent Foundry

”Rich taxonomy for assets, products, and services, embedded within enterprise asset management (EAM) data repositories.”

Don’t just clean your data—standardize it using global content libraries. At the heart of PiLog’s suite is the iContent Foundry, a curated repository of industry-approved asset, product, and service taxonomies. These are aligned with ISO 8000, UNSPSC, eCl@ss, and other classification systems.

Why It Matters?

  • ✦ Ensures consistent naming, descriptions, and categorization across thousands of materials and assets
  • ✦ Eliminates ambiguity that causes overstocking or incorrect procurement
  • ✦ Enables smarter spend analytics, inventory optimization, and maintenance planning

Result: You gain data standardization at scale, eliminating the root cause of chaos in supply chains and asset-heavy operations.

4. Data Migration

”Seamless acquisition, transformation, and migration of legacy data to SAP S/4HANA via BTP.”

Only move what matters. Clean, lean, and targeted for the future. Migrating legacy data to SAP S/4HANA or other modern systems is a minefield if your data is outdated, redundant, or incomplete. PiLog’s suite includes data acquisition, transformation, and cleansing pipelines built specifically for successful migrations powered by Smart IG.

What’s Included?

  • ✦ Automated extraction of legacy data from multiple systems
  • ✦ Transformation into SAP-ready formats using prebuilt templates
  • ✦ Business rule validations to ensure compliance with new system requirements
  • ✦ Filtering mechanisms to migrate only relevant, high-value records
  • ✦ iMirAI, conversational AI

Result: You avoid “garbage in, garbage out” scenarios and accelerate time-to-value in your ERP transformation projects.

5. SAP MDG Add-on

”Enhanced governance for Material & Service Master data within SAP MDG environments.”

Take SAP Master Data Governance to the next level with embedded intelligence. For businesses using SAP MDG (Master Data Governance), PiLog provides a powerful add-on that enhances governance for Material and Service Master data, a critical challenge for most asset-intensive organizations.

How It Helps?

  • ✦ Enforces governance rules during master data creation and change requests
  • ✦ Embeds standardized taxonomies and reference data
  • ✦ Integrates content services directly into SAP MDG user interfaces
  • ✦ Boosts user productivity and improves master data lifecycle compliance

Result: Data governance becomes seamless, automated, and intelligent—fully aligned with how SAP wants data managed in the digital core.

Together, These Five Capabilities Deliver:

  • ✦ A single source of truth across operations, maintenance, supply chain, and finance
  • ✦ Lower data maintenance costs and fewer manual interventions
  • ✦ Stronger regulatory and audit compliance
  • ✦ A future-proof foundation for AI, data analytics, and predictive insights
  • ✦ Rapid SAP deployments with high-quality data from Day 1
Built for SAP, Built for the Future
