Business Impact and Value of Data Quality
Not everyone understands the importance of
information quality and data governance in our
organization. How do I show the value of good quality
data and the business impact of poor quality data?
How do I build and present a business case for these
initiatives?
Complaints About Data Quality
We are hearing complaints about the quality of
information in our organization and need to do
something about it. How do we get started?
Migrating and Integrating Data In Projects
We are implementing a new application (data
warehouse, ERP, customer relationship management
software, etc.). Migrating and integrating data is part of
the project. We have read that poor data quality is one
of the top reasons for failure of these kinds of projects.
What do we need to do to avoid problems and ensure
success from a data quality point of view?
Need for a Formal Program
We have been addressing data quality and governance
on an ad-hoc basis, but are now ready to put a formal
program into place. Can you help?
Ongoing Monitoring and Metrics
We are putting data quality metrics and on-going
monitoring in place. What should we do?
Daily Responsibilities
I’m accountable for data quality as part of my daily job.
What can I do to address this area of my
responsibilities?
Data Quality Tools
We realize we need some data quality tools within our
company. Can you help us evaluate and select the
tools that will work for us?
We have already purchased data profiling and data
cleansing tools. How do we use them effectively and
integrate them into our business processes?
