"It’s difficult to obtain baseline data on our tech solutions, even with dedicated technology management tools. The data on technology provider, solution, and taxonomy was poor and difficult to align between multiple systems.

Entrio was able to cleanse and harmonize our two data sources within days."

Questions?

What type of data is needed?

The minimum required data includes vendor name, product / solution name, and categorization. It’s important to mention we need the entire tech inventory to run a full analysis.

Is there a cost to a POV?

No, we don't usually charge for a POV.

Do you deal with any customer data?

No, we don’t need any customer data, neither PHI/PCI/PFI or any sort of identifiable data.

How do we send you the data?

Whatever your preferred file transfer method is, works for us.

Do we need to clean the data?

There is no need to clean or treat the data in any kind of way, just send us the extract data and we take it from there.

Does Entrio require a formal agreement?

No, not unless you request one.
