Solid foundation of data ‘needed to deliver effective IT systems’
February 9, 2011
Businesses need to work on their data quality strategies in order to ensure they are operating a valuable IT system, it has been suggested.
Writing on the B-Eye Network website, Richard Skriletz, global leader of the Business Intelligence and Data Delivery practice for RCG IT, explained organisations should be looking to develop a "solid foundation of data" in order to make accurate analyses of the information at their disposal.
He said that companies should be willing to act in a proactive manner when it comes to the issue of data quality, taking responsibility for providing useful information and improved process performance.
"If we did not have data problems, we wouldn’t need data quality or master data initiatives," Mr Skriletz added.
Last month, Neil Mason, a director of analytical consulting at Foviance, told the Click-Z website that ensuring high data quality standards is vital when conducting surveys that aim to gain insights into consumer behaviour.
