"However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results"...WC Print

I had some interesting exchanges recently that took me to a UK  firm who specialize in data cleansing, They reminded of a survey we did some time ago that asked the question, How do Business Intelligence solutions provide value?

Of the 86 replies the answers varied in weight but it was clear Sales Growth and Operating Performance are the top issues.

In my discussion with Chris Johnson at CNM in the he said

Companies waste so much money and cause harm to the environment by not regularly cleansing their data. Data is one of our biggest assets. You wouldn’t drive around in your Ferrari or work in your high rise office block without getting it cleaned once in a while would you?

Clean data means happy informed customers and less environmental impact to our planet.

In my personal opinion it should be a legal/moral obligation to clean data regularly.

This was very sound advice which I was looking for to help me in my work in Business Intelligence that relies so much on clean data.

As I looked through the impressive product list at CNM, (Yes it is one of those coveted TLA names) it seemed to focus on these needs so well so I decided to keep it as a reference list of issues that people in business face.

For example in their How can we help? section it bring to the forefront familiar issues with some pertinent questions that just make think about the quality of your data.
