Program content
Quality data is the critical first step to business intelligence success. Regardless of how sophisticated and complex your business intelligence functions are, ultimately they can only be as good as the data they use. Without quality data as your base, any results you obtain from reporting and analytical processes will be unreliable, uncertain and dangerous, particularly if you are depending on those results to guide your business decisions or provide legally-required information.
But what, exactly, constitutes "quality data," and how do you make sure you have it throughout your enterprise? How can you identify and measure the costs and other impacts of poor data quality? And, how can you prioritize your data quality efforts to ensure that the highest value data gets the attention it deserves?
In Start on the Right Path, David Loshin addresses all of these questions and more, including how to establish data quality standards, where and how you should implement data quality processes to verify and validate data, and how to monitor and maintain data quality.
It takes a whole company to ensure data quality. Use our Email This Page link to encourage your co-workers to watch this webcast.
