Sincera’s Network Information Compliance Engine (NICE) is a platform designed to identify and correct inconsistent, incomplete, inaccurate, and non-standardized data in various network data sources. With NICE, network operators can define and retrieve sets of data from multiple sources and process them using a rule-based engine to uncover exceptions and data anomalies. The non-compliant data can then be processed by the defined export services for data correction. NICE is a system that continually identifies and corrects inconsistent, inaccurate, and non-standardized data in various enterprise network data sources based on user-defined rules and industry best practices.

Our other flagship product is our SASI Data Manager software, which is based on our Simple Automated Services Interface (SASI) for Granite/EAI. With SASI Data Manager customers can reduce the cost of maintaining their inventory database while increasing their data integrity by allowing large-scale database additions and updates using simple delimited files. Training users takes only a few hours, and installing the software takes even less time.

Sincera’s expert software development team has the software technology skills, domain knowledge, and the agile frameworks to fulfill all aspects of your Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
