Electronic Document (BOK): Data Extraction and Formats
Title: Electronic Document (BOK): Data Extraction and Formats
Track: Fundamentals
Date/Time: Tuesday, April 5th – 10:30am-11:20am
Room: Bonaire 5
Presenter: Bill Broddy, M-EDP, acadami
Most data within transaction documents comes from highly secured enterprise Systems of Record. These systems are live ‘general ledgers’ that are hard to extract data from, nearly impossible to add new types of data to, and protected by the highest levels of electronic and physical security. As a result, developing extraction routines for a new document can be more than half the cost of the development project.
This session will explain the nuances of the different types of data that can be used in customer communications. It will also explain the differences between ‘mainframe’ data (that represents 90% of what we need to extract), and PC data (which most ‘cloud’ platforms use). It will also explain data structures such as flat files and XML, and which work most efficiently in our environment.
Attendee Takeaways:
Achieve a better understanding of issues surrounding the use of corporate data.
