    Abstract: Methods and systems manage data for an enterprise. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided for managing data for an enterprise. According to the method, data may be imported from a plurality of data sources into a staging area of a server. In the staging area, the data may be processed. The processing may comprise determining a category identifier for a subset of the data based on one of the plurality of data sources from which the subset of the data originated and assigning the category identifier to the subset of the data. The method may further comprise transmitting the subset of the data from the staging area to a work area of the server and applying, by the work area, one or more logical rules to the subset of the data based on the category identifier. The one or more logical rules may convert the subset of the data. The method further comprises storing the subset of the data in a database.
