Unlocking the power of Data Quality for better data-driven decisions

Today, technology is driving businesses and businesses are generating a lot of data. Enterprises are investing in data as a foundation for driving business decisions on trusted insights. Unfortunately, when data comes from lots of different places, it is often incomplete, inaccurate, inconsistent or misrepresented. This strategic investment in data cannot bear fruit if consumers do not trust the data or cannot consistently access high quality data when they need it and where they need it.

Data quality issues are pervasive and expected. Whether you are moving data to the cloud, providing intelligent insights to your business stakeholders, driving automation through data science initiatives or using streaming data to make real time decisions, your data needs to go through a rigorous but consistent vetting process to ensure poor quality data is either fixed, enriched or prevented from entering mainstream data pipelines. It is equally important to capture and analyze these data facts so consumers have full transparency on the trustworthiness of their data.

Businesses struggle to cultivate the culture of data literacy and accountability because of the many technical challenges faced by their citizen users. Users of modern data platforms expect low/no-code user interface and unified user experience so they can accomplish more with less. At the same time, developers still need the right tools and platforms to build sophisticated workflows and deliver complex solutions. The trick is to find the right balance to meet these needs while delivering valuable features in the most simple and effective way.
