Reference Data Management

Reference data is a special subset of master data that’s used for classification throughout your entire organization: postal codes, cost centers, financial hierarchies or countries. Whether the data is externally mandated or internally authored it’s unambiguous and non-negotiable. EBX is a single solution for managing and distributing your reference data. By centralizing control you ensure that consistency and compliance are maintained.

More than code lists. Reference data includes complex hierarchies, mappings and more. EBX supports all of these forms.

Version control. EBX can manage every version of reference data, past, present and future—and connect them.

Diversity of distribution. Your business teams and systems can access reference data in the way they want.
