DATA DISCOVERY TO INCREASE
ORGANIZATIONAL AGILITY
At a time when data is considered
a business asset, traditional data
management systems will not add value,
but will generate additional costs. The
success of manufacturing companies
will be defined by the way they harness
their data, transformed into usable
business knowledge. Actify believes
that manufacturing companies have
enormous, and often untapped, potential
which is hidden and unused within
various business systems.
Necessary data no longer resides within
one application. Organizations have
several structured siloed data sources
(systems and databases such as; CAD, ERP,
cost accounting systems and warranty
databases.) Multiple data sources,
countless different file types and disparate
files scattered across network drives and
geographic locations provides a growing
challenge to govern and manage data
within your organization. Furthermore,
product data is hidden within CAD
files such as Product Manufacturing
Information, GD&T, etcetera.
The challenge we’ve observe is not about
generating more data, it’s about accessing
the existing disparate data and gaining
insight. Have we produced something like
this before? Or, how much did we quote
for this last time? Etc. Time is valuable,
and your work force is busier than

ever. Is your organization truly achieving
progress? Or, are your workers wasting
valuable time searching for crucial
information?
Release your hidden product data with
data discovery. Centro provides greater
enterprise visibility and disparate data
visibility, implementing controls and tools
to react and respond to opportunities and
insights identified through a connected
manufacturing infrastructure. Centro can
standardize your data in a user-friendly
and easily accessible format and enables
the organization to leverage available
product data for increased productivity
and organizational agility.
If companies want to increase their
organizational agility, a new approach
is required. When businesses strive for
the way things used to be, rather than
adapting to the way things are, they fail.
Many small and medium-sized businesses
shy away from smart data projects due
to the perceived costs and complexities.
The sooner you embrace your data, the
sooner you can start adding real value
to your business. Companies need to
expand their digital vision and embrace
more up-to-date solutions enabling new
levels of efficiency based on industry best
practices.

Actify is passionate about using business
intelligence to make manufacturing
companies smarter by harnessing the
product data trapped in all their data sources.
At Actify we provide a set of business
solutions designed to support the
creation, management, dissemination
and collaborative use of product data (i.e.
product definition information including
BOM structures, CAD files, specifications,
requirements, manufacturing instructions,
etc.).
Many of today’s manufacturing companies
store their data in line-of-business systems
like PLM, ERP and Excel spreadsheets, but not
everyone has access to these systems, and
the user interface may be cumbersome for
the casual user. Actify solves this challenge
by enabling cross-department collaboration,
data management and quick access to
extended product data that can help make
critical business decisions faster.
We believe that software tools can provide
tremendous benefits especially for
manufacturing companies, through the
intelligent use of their available data and
through automating mundane processes.
