Ensuring quality information that feeds actionable decisiveness

quality

With information architectures growing larger, more complex and diverse, the need to effectively monitor and control data quality becomes essential. At CDS, we offer a Data Quality Management (DQM) framework that:

  • Validates operational data
  • Reports errors and inconsistencies
  • Cleanses and standardizes data
  • Removes redundancy through data matching

Our modular approach provides guidelines and standards, giving you flexibility to adapt to any methodology. Improving and managing your data quality for best performance, DQM provides boundless operational and cost efficiencies.

We develop a uniform data dictionary across disparately sourced systems and formats, ensuring that your data is reliable, effective, usable, and easily retrievable. We also track technological advances and design offerings for the management of the complete Data Quality Life Cycle.

Trust in data metrics is very low due to data inconsistency. To increase trust in business analysis, DQM unifies diverse information assets to ensure:

  • Accurate financial and regulatory reporting
  • Reliable timely data that minimizes the impact of bad data in reporting
  • Enhanced and de-duplicated customer data for effective marketing
  • Greater control of supply chains with true inventory status
