Unlocking Efficiency and Consistency

Maximize Endur Performance Through Smart Data Governance

Driving Efficiency and Consistency with Data Governance

In the high-stakes world of energy trading and risk management, data is more than a resource, it’s a strategic advantage. Endur empowers organizations to tackle complex commodity value chains with exceptional flexibility and customization. However, this flexibility can come at a cost; inefficiencies, technical debt, and data inconsistencies that disrupt operations and increase regulatory and financial risks.

Value Creed transforms these challenges into opportunities through our Understand, Protect, & Curate framework. This modern approach to data governance ensures organizations can harness Endur’s full potential while maintaining the efficiency, consistency, and compliance needed to excel in a dynamic market.

Addressing Challenges in Endur Data Management

Managing data within Endur comes with unique challenges that can impact efficiency and reliability, emphasizing the need for robust governance. A structured, proactive approach to Endur data governance is essential to overcoming the below challenges, ensuring operational efficiency, system reliability, and scalability for future growth.

Misaligned master and reference data, such as mismatched payment dates or pricing models, lead to errors and inefficiencies across systems.

Poor alignment between Endur and other systems creates discrepancies in cashflows, accounting data, and logistics positions.

Excessive, uncoordinated customizations generate technical debt, increasing system complexity and reducing performance.

Without clear data lineage or cataloging, teams struggle to understand dependencies, resulting in operational misalignments.

Ineffective governance during system upgrades causes delays, high costs, and dependency challenges.

Weak access controls leave sensitive data, such as portfolio details, vulnerable to breaches.

Our Approach to Endur Data Governance

To overcome the challenges of managing data in Endur, Value Creed employs the Understand, Protect, Curate framework; a robust approach designed to ensure data quality, system efficiency, and scalability. This structured approach transforms data governance into a powerful driver of operational excellence.

By implementing data quality management, seamless integration, and master data governance, organizations take essential steps to protect their data integrity.

Continuously monitor critical parameters such as payment dates, pricing models, and settlement prices to enhance accuracy and reliability.

Ensure seamless alignment between Endur and systems like accounting and logistics, eliminating silos and boosting efficiency.

Standardize updates to reference data like counterparties and delivery locations, creating a consistent, trusted source of truth.

#Step 3: Curate

Proactively managing data is crucial to maintaining accuracy and efficiency across business systems. By focusing on data profiling, documenting data lineage, and developing a clear data catalog, organizations can protect their data, reduce risks, and ensure that teams use consistent, reliable information for decision-making.
