Mersen Achieves High Level of Compliance in Idea’s Data Certification Program

Mersen is pleased to announce that it has achieved 95% compliance or higher for all of our items in the Industry Data Warehouse (IDW) as part of our on-going commitment to the electrical industry and its business partners’ rich attributed data needs.  Mersen’s efforts in populating the items’ critical fields within IDEA’s Data Certification Program helps set the bar for the level of complete data available in the IDW and positions Mersen as a positive example for others within the industry.

“Mersen is committed to facilitating the exchange of data in an electronic format with our Partners,” said Jean-Chris Bertrand, PDM/PIM Project Manager for Mersen.  “We are actively working on major improvements in the way we create, manage, share and keep up to date our product attributed data.  Reaching this goal is certainly an important milestone for us.”

IDEA’s Data Certification Program is designed to measure the item-level completeness and quality of the data available in the IDW. It focuses on the population of critical data fields that contain transactional and descriptive product information you need to conduct business and sell our products (e.g. brand, packaging, price effective date, etc.). The content within Mersen’s compliant items’ critical fields will now go through quarterly quality checks to ensure consistency and accuracy, meaning that the products are well on their way to becoming certified!
