Data Quality

It has historically been difficult for data quality advocates to get corporations

to make significant commitments and spend adequate money to create and

maintain an effective data quality assurance function. The business case has

always been evident, but quantifying it, determining the opportunity for

improvements, and comparing it to other corporate opportunities has always

been difficult to do and frequently has been unsuccessful.

Data quality has too often been one of those topics that everyone knows is

important but just does not generate enough enthusiasm to get something

done about it.
