Data Quality

Data quality is an under-utilized component in most business intelligence implementations. And many BI managers don't understand the real business value that data quality tools and processes offer. What is the cost of bad, inconsistent or missing data? Wrong decisions. Unprofitable strategies. Wasted time and money.

It's a fact: Poor data quality costs your organization money. It's also a fact that assessing, maintaining and enhancing data quality is one of the toughest challenges in business intelligence.

Now, a data quality solution built using a new set of tools from SAP BusinessObjects can help you improve your data — and your organization's confidence in it.



SAP Business Objects XI 3.x added advanced data quality capabilities to the already robust Data Integrator. This powerful combination, called Data Services, gives you the ability to transform questionable data into trusted information. You use one tool for both ETL and DQ.

And Data Services allows your organization to centralize the discovery, correction and prevention of data quality issues. In short, you can have a data quality solution that works with all your systems and all your data.

With a Data Services-based solution, you can...

  • Deploy in multiple environments and architectures
  • Measure, analyze, profile and benchmark data quality
  • Identify defects and discover their sources
  • Cleanse, correct and enhance data across your enterprise
  • Add custom dictionaries and foreign language support
  • Match and consolidate data at multiple levels
  • Continuously monitor quality
  • Create both batch-mode and real-time processes
We offer three Data Quality services:

Data Quality Assessment — We evaluate your current solution (if any), determine needs, profile data and defects, and provide a written report with a custom, comprehensive DQ strategy.

Data Quality Implementation — We deploy and configure BusinessObjects XI 3.x Data Services, help you determine DQ standards, create real-time or batch services, and develop ongoing services to monitor DQ levels.

Data Quality Mentoring & Training — We mentor your staff in DQ standards and best practices, and train them to effectively and efficiently utilize BusinessObjects XI 3.x Data Services.
