- Understanding Dependencies and Impact of Changes. Industrial Scientific faced challenges in understanding dependencies and impacts of changes within their organization, particularly in cleaning up their customer data model due to incomplete documentation. This lack of visibility made it difficult to predict how changes would affect their existing systems and processes.
- Lack of Comprehensive Documentation. They lacked complete documentation, which was essential for effectively managing their customer data model. The absence of detailed records made it challenging to undertake clean-up activities and to maintain an accurate overview of their systems.
- Need for Strong Data Governance and Change Control. Industrial Scientific aimed to establish robust data governance and implement stringent change control procedures. Their goal was to ensure that any modifications to their data model adhered to internal policies and were executed efficiently without disrupting ongoing operations
- Manual and Time-Consuming Processes. Prior to adopting Netwrix Strongpoint, the team had to manually reconcile the impact of any changes, which was a labor-intensive process that increased the risk of errors and inefficiencies. This manual approach was not only slow but also put a strain on their resources and productivity.
Netwrix Strongpoint is a powerful addition to Salesforce! It enables us to maintain change policies, and automatically identify whether the changes to our org are compliant with our policies.
