Overview

If you ask any business expert what makes the world go round these days, they’ll likely say data (of course many of us would go with money but these days data equals money, doesn’t it?). Be it to facilitate business decision making, finding bottlenecks, improving processes or reaching higher revenues, data and data processing holds everything together. As such, it goes without saying that such business data needs to be of the highest quality. 
 
However, considering that an enterprise deals with humongous volumes of data every day, manually analyzing data accuracy, completeness and conciseness would take days (even months) on end. Frankly, who has that patience or time to wait that long! That’s why diligent corporate houses rely on Data Quality Software. Such applications take charge of ensuring that the data the organization uses is flawless so that business decisions never go wrong. Join us as we unveil 5 of the best Data Quality Software that leading organizations around the world depend on.

"Water, water, everywhere, nor any a drop to drink" – Samuel Taylor Coleridge's lines from the epic ‘Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ fit the modern definition of Data Quality crises quite well.  
 
Puzzled? 
 
Let's imagine it this way. 
 
Data, Data everywhere; not a usable piece. 
 
Allow us to explain. 
 
The tech-savvy Homo Sapiens, with their high-end gadgets, generate a lot of data - from their Alexa's and Siri's to smart refrigerators and data developed from all that Netflix and chilling. However, all that is raw data which on its own is bad data. It's only when you sort, clean and filter it that you can yield high-quality data which will help you gain business insights. 
 
How do you reach the wealth of good data then? Manually process hundreds of gigabytes of data? Pff! What are we? Living in the dark ages? Of course not, we use Data Quality Software that can see and sort all that bad data for us! #YayTechnology
