Data Quality | Data Governance | Proactive Monitoring
Overview
Garbage in, Garbage out. Data quality is a continuous process for results.
Many businesses have data quality processes and some Data Governance and Oversight. But how many automate this exercise and proactively alert owners?
DDS have done exactly that.
What does good data look like?
Data isn’t just about collecting information; it’s about using the right data to make smarter decisions and drive growth. But here’s the thing: not all data is created equal.
Good data looks like this:
1️⃣ Accuracy – It’s reliable. Inaccurate data leads to wrong decisions.
2️⃣ Consistency – Data needs to be uniform across all systems.
3️⃣ Completeness – Make sure all essential information is captured.
4️⃣ Timeliness – Outdated data? A recipe for failure.
5️⃣ Relevance – Only collect data that aligns with your goals.
6️⃣ Security – Protect your data with encryption and access controls.
7️⃣ Actionability – Data should drive real decisions, not just sit there.
Proactive Monitoring
Most companies nowadays have some reasonable metrics, granted whether that's manual or automated. But how many companies get notifications or alerts as the issues arise?
Proactive data quality is an invaluable tool to give you a competitive edge. You no longer need to wait for the end of the month or as and when your employees views the report.
With this information you also able to implement data driven KPi's - possibilities are endless.
Data Governance
Data owners need to be aware of who is accessing or consuming their data. This makes total sense but how many data owners are proactively aware of these consumers and not via an end of month report.
Data Governance needs to be driven by the data as it changes not as its reported. We at DDS can achieve exactly that.
