The current landscape includes an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that is responsible for Customer Master Data, Product Master Data, customer invoicing, and order fulfillment.

A
A demand planning application that stores forecast versions.
-

A Product Information Management system that governs rich SKU content.
-
D
A data lake that receives unmodeled transaction extracts.
