Reliance upon existing documentation, metadata and manual analysis or analysis done on small data samples have shown to be poor approaches to understanding your data. This holds true whether as part of a Data Integration exercise, or as part of a quality improvement initiative. Assumptions about the quality and consistency of data based on this input will be found to be false, resulting in incorrect mappings, poor quality, budget overruns, delays and possible outright failure or cancellation. The true quality and consistency of data can only be found by examining the WHOLE data itself. The data does not lie! The truth is in there.

But now TDNett Knowledge brings you an easy to use convenient Bureau service to accurately profile your actual data and measure quantitatively the Quality of your data against your own standards. Click on the slides to see the detailed report that will be generated for you using your own data.

The benefits of using this service are many, some of which are highlighted below:

• A basic “Go – No Go” decision on the Data Integration / Migration project as a whole! Our Data Profiling services may reveal that the data on which the project depends simply does not contain the information from which the hoped for decisions can be made. Although this is disappointing, it is an enormously valuable outcome. You will get an opportunity to address the vital gaps before embarking on the Data centric projects – CRM, MDM, BI, Data Warehousing….

• Finally a big benefit of data profiling that perhaps should be left unstated (at least while justifying investment to executives) is that data profiling makes the implementation team look like they know what they are doing. By correctly anticipating the difficult data quality issues of a project up front, the team avoids the embarrassing and career-shortening surprises of discovering BIG problems near the end of a project. This will help in setting the right expectations and timelines.
