An authoritative system where data consumers can obtain reliable data as an alternative to the system of record is known as a "Trusted System."
* System of Record:
* The system of record (SOR) is the authoritative data source for a particular data element or dataset. It ensures data integrity, accuracy, and consistency.
* Trusted System:
* A trusted system provides reliable data that consumers can use for transactions and analysis. It acts as a reference point and may serve as an alternative to the system of record.
* It ensures that users have access to high-quality, consistent, and trustworthy data, which is essential for decision-making and operational processes.
* Other Options:
* System of Reference:Generally refers to a system used for lookup and reference purposes but not necessarily authoritative for transactions.
* System of Origin:The original source of data before it is integrated into other systems.
* Source System:Any system that contributes data to an enterprise system but is not specifically a trusted or authoritative source.
* System of Use:The system where data is actively used and consumed for various business processes.
