Tom Redman, a.k.a. the “Data Doc”, believes that information is an organisation’s most valuable asset, but that poor data quality costs businesses 20% of their revenues. So why do some people struggle to make a business case?

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I thought someone was pulling my leg when I first heard about this, but it's true - Trillium Software is currently paying for an advertisement on Google, that uses one word only - Datanomic! Why would such a well established data quality software vendor make such prominent use of a competitor's name? And why has Trillium singled Datanomic out for this special treatment? I'll let you make up your own mind about that. Meanwhile, here's a screenshot I just grabbed that shows the advert. Feel free to Google Datanomic and...

According to a Gartner Research report, “Eight Steps to Implementing a Successful CRM Project” (October 2006), CRM project failures continue to run at nearly 50%. What the report fails to identify is that a significant number of these failures are due to inadequate data resulting from deficient data migration practices. Poor data quality leads to poor user adoption and poor CRM performance; getting the data migration right is critical to success. In my experience of dozens of CRM Migration projects there are two key mistakes that are commonly made, to avoid these: Don’t Assume that Migrating Data will be Easy...

According to a new Data Quality Benchmark Study by Tank! Action Group and Transactis, half of the organisations surveyed (some of the biggest mailers in the UK) have no data quality strategy in place and, instead, approach it in an ad hoc way, with irregular, unplanned attempts to resolve data quality problems. What is more, 40% of these organisations do not view data as a commercial asset, and are therefore unlikely to see it as worth investing in. So many organisations regard data quality as small beer, i.e. of little importance. They will continue to lose out to those that...

Just gave a presentation at MIT's Information Quality conference hosted at the Sloan school of management. Data Governance largely deals with softer topics like people, organizational strategies, and processes. Not necessarily technology. The irony was not lost on anyone thatthis presentation given at MIT stressed that technology alone would not solve a company's data quality problems.

It's been rumored for a while, but now it is official - Microsoft has announced an agreement to buy a data quality startup company, Zoomix, for the purpose of enhancing SQL Server. While this is not a large transaction for Microsoft, the move does underscore the importance of Data Quality. However, this raises an interesting question. Who should you trust to deliver data quality?SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Microsoft Buys Zoomix", url: "http://blogs.informatica.com/dataquality/index.php/2008/07/microsoft-buys-zoomix/" });

Gartner just released this year's report on their Data Quality Tools Magic Quadrant and they have placed Informatica right in the mix of vendors listed in the leadership quadrant. Some of these vendors have been recognized leaders for many years. Some may ask "how is it that Informatica has grown so fast to be recognized as a leader in data quality only two years after entering the market?" Gartner cites many of the reasons, including significant adoption, strong data profiling, domain-agnostic data cleansing, ease of use and positive support and services experiences.SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "2008 Gartner Data Quality Magic Quadrant", url: "http://blogs.informatica.com/dataquality/index.php/2008/06/2008-gartner-data-quality-magic-quadrant/" });
