What You Get with Our Data QA Services

Accuracy

The information your data contains is reliable and error-free.

Completeness

Data is sufficient for answering your business questions.

Auditability

Data is accessible, and it is possible to trace the introduced changes.

Orderliness

Data has the required format and structure.

Uniqueness

Protecting Your Data

Data consolidation challenge

Data consolidation during mergers and acquisitions. M&A require merging ERP, CRM, HR, and other data-heavy systems of 2+ businesses, which may result in duplicates, outdated or incomplete data. We can help you to go through the process of M&A with reduced data quality pains by designing standardized data structures and setting data governance procedures, setting quality metrics, integrating data from multiple systems, providing a toolkit for managing the change, and more.

Big data nature

Big data nature. With big data, it’s not possible to achieve all the usual data quality criteria by 100%. Our team will find a good balance among data consistency, accuracy, completeness, auditability, and orderliness so that your big data is of good enough quality at a reasonable cost, within a reasonable period, with no hindrance to your systems’ performance.

Hard-to-fix quality issues

Hard-to-fix quality issues. When data quality issues keep coming up, it’s necessary to deal with their root cause rather than the aftermath. We do root cause analysis in close collaboration with IT specialists responsible for a particular system (CRM, ERP, CMS, and more).
