Clean, Standardize, and Reformat Any Data Type

In the era of big data, data stewards spend a large amount of time doing “data janitor” work – the time-consuming, mundane task of collecting, preparing, and cleaning disparate data. We offer the Melissa Cleanser transform for Pentaho® and Microsoft SQL Server® Integration Services (SSIS) to help automate and prepare data for the cleansing process. This empowers users to build custom data cleansing scripts for data suffering from a wide range of errors and inconsistencies. With the component, data stewards have the ability to standardize and validate inventory lists to better prep and cleanse data prior to analysis.

  • Cleanse any type of data and achieve a higher standard of data quality for integration, warehousing, and analytics
  • Gain greater control of your data when optimized, and save your business time and resources
  • Customize and create rules (triggering) to standardize data
