MH Alshaya delivers 99.99% Data Quality in Data Migration with DvSum
Background
MH Alshaya, a franchisee Retailer based in Kuwait with 6B in revenue and operating over 4000 stores globally under 90 different brands, embarked on a comprehensive makeover of its information systems to establish a solid foundation for ongoing digital transformation. The resulting IT landscape includes Oracle, IBM, and Blue Yonder (JDA) as critical solutions deployed across a mix of on-premise, SaaS, and IaaS/PaaS platforms.
Challenge
The company had yet to have any systematic data quality process in place before. As they modernized their data landscape and implemented best-of-breed solutions, there was a clear recognition and need to
- Do a one-time cleansing and enrichment of data to improve data quality and make it fit for purpose to new systems and processes and
- Establish a systematic data quality process to maintain that high data quality.
The company evaluated tools from prominent box vendors and concluded that those were complex, cumbersome, and took a long time to set up, deploy, and difficult to use. The most significant gap was the ability to model complex business rules and orchestrate a process where business users could self-service cleanse the data as part of the data modernization program.

To address the challenge of ensuring high data quality during migration, Alshaya chose DvSum as their data quality solution provider. DvSum’s powerful business rules modeling capability, friendly user interface, and unique ability to provide master data cleansing and enrichment for business users made it the ideal choice for the company. Additionally, DvSum’s flexibility in setting up a dedicated instance in a specific global region to meet Alshaya’s data residency requirement was a critical factor in their decision.
