Validation Interfaces

If our validation algorithms are the engine of our features, Validation Interfaces are their fuel. They contain the specifications that are applied when checking a data set. They guide your data senders towards a compliant participation in your business processes. And they give you transparency about your data flows.

Precision is key

Whether you monitor your productive data or teach a partner how to use your data exchange interfaces, you need to be sure that every information that is needed in the business processes can be checked by your data quality solution. It just does not suffice if a message is only syntactically correct. The logic within must be flawless as well. And it does not help if there are aspects that cannot be shown in the validation reports but must be discussed via email or phone. This is why we strife to offer any kind of validation. Be it a simple check for the presence of a value, a complex check for the correct calculation of sums or a custom build validation to serve a unique use case. See here for example rules

Tailor-made validations

To give your partners a simple overview of where they need to make improvements, we display the errors directly in the source message. There they will find a representation of the structural and logical errors. The logic tests require an explanation of how the individual components are connected. With detailed descriptions of the rules and their components, you can give your partners the explanations that used to require conference calls and long emails. Experience has taught us that a Validation Interface must not overstrain the partners. Syntax checks or validation rules that do not apply to a partner will only distract him. To avoid this, you can separate a Validation Interfaces into multiple Sub-processes. Sub-processes of a Validation Interface share a common core of syntax checks and validation rules. However, each Sub-process can have its own validations that deviate from others. In this way, you can divide your Validation Interface into suitable sub-units. Your partners only have to process the checks that are really relevant to them.
