Data quality 'made complicated by information deluge'
Sep 1 2010, 10:18 AM
Keeping a high level of data quality is being made difficult for companies by the huge amount of information they are having to process.
Writing on his OCDQ blog, industry commentator Jim Harris explained that "data is now everywhere".
He said that it has spread from just being found in spreadsheets and relational databases to "unstructured streams" such as Facebook, Twitter, blogs, videos and photos.
"The challenge is can we somehow manage to listen for business insights among the endless cacophony of chaotic data volumes and use those insights to enable better business decisions," Mr Harris went on to state.
Last month, Mr Harris told the SmartData Collective website that successful data quality initiatives rely on collaboration across an organisation.
He said that the division between business and technology decisions needs to become overcome for projects involving topics such as data governance, data management and business intelligence to work effectively.
