Most businesses today are heavilydependent on data, and quite often, they flow in through a multitudeof channels, ranging from consumer surveys, polls, and sales toadministration and accounting departments. This data is absolutelycrucial and in many ways, can shape the future success and failure ofthe company. However, information is completely useless if it isinaccurate, inconsistent or incomplete. In fact, a recent article ina leading magazine argues that businesses looking to beef up theircorporate governance, risk management and regulatory compliancestandards should focus on their enterprise data qualitystandards.Obviously the solution to all this is EnterpriseData Quality Management (EDQM). However, this is easier said thandone, as this is not something that can be implemented quickly or asa short-term stopgap measure. It requires a deep understanding ofboth how data flows through a business and consequently, where dataquality management measures need to be implemented to be the mosteffective. Once this understanding is complete, the process of EDQMcan begin. * Ensuring the inflow of high quality data Information flows into a company through multiple channels. Some canbe controlled, for example when legacy data transferred to a newsystem; they needs to be r-engineered to match current standards. Atpoints where this inflow cannot be controlled, for example theinternet, filters need to be in place that ensure its correctness asmuch as possible, as well as match it to corporate standards.* Maintaining high-quality data in the company information system The creation of an internal group that oversees the maintenance ofcorporate data goes a long way towards maintaining quality. Alsoimportant is to perform regular quality audits on particularlycritical information pools. * Maintaining informationintegrity in step with the latest business strategies of the company often data that is accurate ceases to be so with new acquisitionsand company mergers. That information needs to be changed, eliminatedor revised. EDQM is all about maintaining the correctness andaccuracy of company information. And one of the most important stepsin tightening enterprise data quality standards is to invest in highquality EDQM solutions.
