Are your files and Datasets standardized? Do they comply with your Standards? Are your naming conventions fully documented and up to date? How do you know for sure and how long it would take to find out?

E-GEN / Norms is a new component of the E-GEN Suite that is dedicated to Standards management. E-GEN / NORMS not only optimizes the time spent to verify the compliance of your Files and Datasets with the Standard defined in your Data Center. But is also helps to automatically create a comprehensive list highlighting the naming conventions standards found on one site.

E-GEN / Norms not only analyzes and highlights all Files & Datasets that don't match your Standards. It also isolates exceptions, incorrect naming convention and computes an evolution trend for all naming convention discrepancies.

Furthermore Free text description can be associated with each naming convention rule. Thus making the rules understandable for anyone within your organization.

E-GEN / Norms is easily be implemented using one of the following methods:

	You currently use Standards rules. But you need to analyze the compliance of your Files & Datasets with these rules.
	You don’t have specific Standards rules. But you want to identify some Standards rules and trends.

Each of the above methods provides a detailed statistics report containing valid and invalid names, the rules used and their associated values. The portion of the file names not matching a defined or pre-defined sequence of rules is stored separately. A compression process produces a naming convention trend that contains a summary of exceptions. This trend will assist you in defining standardization rules when not yet defined.

Once the standards are identified, an HTML document summarizing this information is available for publishing on your intranet. Standards are not fixed forever. Therefore you can either update your rules or audit your current files to document any changes and insolate discrepancies.
