Catalogue Management

CORTEX manages and optimises the use of vendor products by regularly gathering and sharing critical usage data. This continuous monitoring and reporting of product usage are instrumental for businesses to understand consumption patterns, assess product performance, and make informed decisions about future procurement and deployment strategies. By regularly analysing usage data, CORTEX enables companies to optimise their resource allocation, ensuring that they are effectively utilising the vendor products at their disposal.

In addition to usage monitoring, CORTEX is able to maintain internal consistency within the vendor products. It actively scans for and resolves any discrepancies that may arise, ensuring data integrity and reliability. This function is crucial for preventing errors and inconsistencies that could lead to operational inefficiencies or decision-making based on flawed data.

CORTEX plays a critical role in managing changes to vendor products listed in the Product Catalogue. Before any modifications are made, it conducts a thorough pre-validation process. This pre-emptive step ensures that any updates or changes are accurate, necessary, and beneficial. Once changes are made, CORTEX doesn’t stop there; it ensures that these updates are perfectly aligned with related data in the Billing and Order Capture systems. This alignment is essential to maintain coherence and consistency across various business functions, preventing discrepancies between what is offered and what is billed or captured in orders.
