Case Study: Global Humanitarian Organization achieves operational efficiency and significant time savings with erwin Mapping Manager

Achieving operational efficiency through metadata-driven automation

Global Humanitarian Organization, one of the world’s largest humanitarian groups operating in more than 188 countries, was struggling with confusion and complexity in data mapping across releases and lacked a central repository for business definitions and data dictionaries. The organization needed to standardize the pre‑ETL data mapping process to improve efficiency and reduce the risks and manual effort associated with file‑based mapping workflows; they selected erwin and its erwin Mapping Manager product to address this challenge.

erwin deployed erwin Mapping Manager to standardize pre‑ETL mapping, scan and store metadata and data dictionaries in a central repository, and govern code sets and reference data, eliminating the Excel‑based sharing problems. As a result, the Global Humanitarian Organization realized significant time savings across IT development and cross‑functional testing teams, achieved ROI within the first 12 months, and simplified mapping creation with drag‑and‑drop capabilities while centrally managing business definitions and validation rules.
