Normalization Data Services Good, clean data is essential in an asset management system. The Normalization Data Services plugin helps maintain consistency for table fields that refer to a company name. What is Normalization data services? Tables related to CIs and assets usually contain columns referring to a company name, such as a vendor or manufacturer. Often, these tables refer to the same company by several different names. This situation can happen for many reasons. For example, vendors sometimes use different company names depending on the device. This inconsistency creates problems, especially for reports that rely on these company names. The Normalization Data Services plugin helps alleviate this problem.
