Data Quality
“Data quality is considered essential to corporate performance going forward in the digital economy. However, close to half of data managers’ report they either don’t have an active data quality strategy or aren’t aware of one. Such strategies are critical, as customer and product data are on the line. …”[1]
“DATA QUALITY IN CRISIS
“Most data managers are at least somewhat skeptical about the quality of data in their enterprises and recognize achieving quality as a top corporate priority. Data quality initiatives are not widespread enough to enable consistent quality, and discovery is often through informal processes. The greatest risk factors to data quality come from project complexities and other unknown factors that may arise as new technologies and architectures are implemented. Gaining organizational support is another challenge.”[2]
I urge our members to download this just published October 2021 Data Quality Survey sponsored by Melissa, to read more about the current state of Data Quality.
