The need for a data quality strategy is universally recognised. Successful delivery requires a data quality partner.

Organisations want quality data. But to get this they must focus on data quality. The volume and variety of information flowing in, out and through organisations on a daily basis is growing exponentially. These growing data volumes coupled with complex storage infrastructures makes data quality a serious challenge. Both significant and widespread, it can impact strategic decision making, customer acquisition, customer retention, compliance and reputation, thus in turn impacting cost and competitiveness.

This creates a complex challenge for organisations seeking to connect with and drive value from customers and create competitive advantage through data. Having accurate, complete and reliable data is a critical enabler to intelligent decision making.

Experian Data Quality provides a range of data quality software and services that help business and IT stakeholders, in any industry, to collaborate around data quality issues and prioritise business initiatives. These tools and services will give you the confidence in your data to enable the use of your data as a strategic asset.
