Overview

Always know where to find your organisation's data

DataSmart® Central Point™ is a web-based Information Asset Register - or for the tehnically minded, it is a meta-data repository application for all your organisation's information assets. It helps you to know more about the information your organisation holds - at any point in time - and use that information more efficiently and for better compliance.

DataSmart® Central Point™ can be integrated with existing systems, such as Document Management (DM), Electronic Records Management (ERM), EDRM, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), in-house applications, publication schemes, etc. to give a full overview of your organisation's data. Although the data kept within these systems can be accessed via DataSmart® Central Point™, it does not replace any of them.

Operating at several levels, from Corporate to departmental, DataSmart® Central Point™ allows organisations to locate, manage and monitor their entire information asset register. It also helps helps users to manage sensitive data in a safe and secure environment; permission based, access is only given to those authorised.
