SAMI: Governing Manual Intervention for System Reconciliation & Management

Adastra’s Structured Adjustment Maintenance Interface (SAMI) is a superior solution to govern adjustments by enforcing compliance and controlling all manual interventions.

Experienced users know that manual data adjustments to systems are unavoidable: a dynamic and responsive system must change according to evolving needs in order to maintain effectiveness.  Unfortunately, manual interventions risk violating data governance processes and can undermine efforts to sustain reliability. Standardization of such interventions, along with a secure means to control them, is essential to maintaining efficiency, lowering costs, and reducing risk.

SAMI is a web-based application that enforces corporate governance and consistency. Through a built-in workflow, SAMI simplifies and standardizes manual intervention processes.  Within a systems reconciliation framework, SAMI will coordinate adjustment activities to restore balance. A workflow and approval mechanism vastly reduces risk, and generates a complete audit trail for all events.  A rules engine helps to ensure quality by applying user-customizable business logic to adjustments.  Interfaced with target systems, SAMI leverages existing processes and schedules to seamlessly deploy adjusted data to any location, while allowing for:

• Controlled Access
• Work-Flow with Approvals
• Process Standardization
• Flexibility
• Seamless Integration
• Enforced Quality

SAMI is well-suited, but not limited to the following scenarios:

• Adjustments subject to stringent controls:  Reconciliation within regulatory systems, demand documented audits and approvals.
• Configuring user-maintained database tables employed for control or harmonization purposes.
• General Manual Entry: For those situations where source data cannot be automated and manual entry is the only alternative, SAMI provides a universally accessible, secure portal.

Benefits include:

Compliance and Governance
Data governance policies for areas such as access, ownership, process, and quality can be organizationally standardized and enforced by SAMI.  A full audit trail showing review and approval steps with appropriate commentary will satisfy the most stringent requirements.

Reduced Risk
When implemented at an organizational level, SAMI vastly reduces risk through providing the only legitimate portal via which manual data interventions may occur.

Reduced Operational & Maintenance Costs
SAMI’s flexible architecture allows for low-cost, rapid revisions.  Revised data can utilize existing processes for assimilation, thereby reducing system downtime. 

Rapid Time to Market
SAMI is pre-packaged with a default workflow and basic account logic capability, so is positioned deliver results quickly.  SAMI can be incrementally deployed concentrating on high priority areas first.  This leads to greater effectiveness as later deployment can re-use components or design.

Reconciliation
Properly integrated with a reconciliation framework SAMI will help reduce inconsistencies among systems and instil trust in information.
