Prerequisites to Data Integration

Once the integration process has started, participants typically want to make rapid progress, without stopping or slowing to collect fundamental data and resources. TIBCO Reward has therefore identified the following information gathering and planning milestones, which should be completed before the technical data integration effort begins:

• Client receives and completes the Onboarding Questionnaire, or completes it to a reasonable degree. TIBCO Reward’s PSG representative for the individual client determines when there is sufficient information to proceed.
• Client receives documentation, data-mapping guidelines, templates, and sample files to define the mapping between TIBCO Reward’s native representation of transaction data and the client’s native data format.
• Client receives standard site flow diagrams and Client Review Documents (CRDs) from TIBCO Reward for reference. (Working with these standard design starting points, the client can customize the design of its own site.) Getting these standards sets the process in motion. Completion of the final site flow design is not required at this point.
• Client receives a project plan and tentative timeline from TIBCO Reward. These planning tools allow TIBCO Reward and its clients to work efficiently together towards their shared implementation goals. TIBCO Reward applies standard project management tools and its own practical experience to guarantee progress.
