Exploration, production software adds improvements

Newly released DataVera Version 8 includes improvements to existing DataVera functionality and introduces a module for exploration and production master data management (MDM).

The suite of tools leverages a repeatable and scalable E&P specific rules engine to solve complex data issues. It contains five modules to quickly complete data profiling and assessment, large scale data cleansing and consolidation, and continuing data quality monitoring.

DataVera MasterSet is the latest addition to the family and can achieve enterprise-wide MDM. In collaboration with clients who have used DataVera to implement MDM, the new module combines features that existed in the other DataVera modules into a single module with improved functionality.

MasterSet has advanced MDM rules to help users consolidate individual DataVera HealthCheck quality metrics across multiple data stores, and it includes more matching algorithms and E&P specific rules.

More than 400 new E&P specific data quality rules have been added to the DataVera repository of 10,000+ rules as part of Version 8. This empowers E&P companies with an enhanced solution and the high quality data. In addition, a new "rules builder" wizard has been added so that users can quickly and effectively create complex rules.

Google Earth has been integrated into the whole suite of modules. In addition, continuous work has also been completed around the integration with other applications, such as PetrisWINDS Enterprise and OpenWorks.
