Is it possible to insert quality checks into the baseline update procedure? The short answer is yes. This blog will demonstrate a technique using the Endeca CAS API that allows customers to validate data in a Record Store to ensure its quantity/quality before performing a baseline update. This technique holds value for ATG customers who, for example, find incomplete or incorrect catalog data in their MDEX. With a few simple validation rules, you can avoid late detection of issues.

Having all touchpoints managed end-to-end is what “Modern Marketing” is all about.
