This was a presentation I originally prepared back in 2005, but is probably even more applicable in 2009 given the impact using a GIS tool can have on visualizing data quality – customer addresses on a map! The next time you conduct a customer “data” assessment – try this!

From the website:
Human Inference discovered that to reach the desired results, mathematical logic is not sufficient. The knowledge about the language and culture of a country was necessary as well. Human Inference proved to be right, since today the largest companies of the world are using our knowledge-based software to improve the quality of their data.

The Innovative Data Quality Assessment provides a quick and economical evaluation of the quality of your customer information. It identifies areas where your information may be enhanced or improved, and quantifies the impact of the defined data quality issues in terms of costs, customer service, lost revenues, etc. It also benchmarks your organization’s data quality against industry standards, showing how your data quality compares to others in your industry.

Master Data exists across your entire enterprise. Companies today are assessing what is the best way to consolidate all their information assets (data sources) into a “single customer view”.

Data quality and plotting customer address data on a map August 19, 2007
Posted by Peter Benza in Data Analysis, Data Hygiene, Data Integration, Data Metrics, Data Profiling, Data Quality, Data Tools.add a comment
Consider the insights and knowledge your organization will gain about the quality of its customer name/address data prior to centralizing all the desparate data sources into one location. Here is a actual slide deck I prepared a few years ago using the output from my analysis to illustrate how maps and data profiling can assist in assessing data quality.
Great definition: about data integrity August 18, 2007
Posted by Peter Benza in Data Hygiene, Data Integrity.add a comment
I came across this definition from the Data Lever website about data integrity.
“Data integrity involves more than just data cleansing, deduplication, householding, CASS certification, and geocoding. You need information that is consistent, complete, accurate and relevant. To get there, you need an enterprise-class data quality solution that can handle correction, validation, and enhancement of all your data—no matter where is comes from. You need it to be easy to implement, efficient to operate, at a price you can afford.”

How do you prevent data errors in your database today? August 16, 2007
Posted by Peter Benza in Data Errors, Data Hygiene, Data Processes, Data Sources, Data Templates, Data Verification.add a comment
Data errors can be reduced but not totally eliminated, so be realistic. First consideration must be given at point of entry and depending of the size of your organization this could be many. Once your data is consumed, a number of other places should be considered to monitor data errors, such as: data convertion, data preparation, data migration, data integration, data reporting, data analysis, and finally when it is consumed and displayed for use in a dashboard.
Collectively, once you document where most of these errors are orginating from – then and only then will you be able to classify data errors given the entire end to end process from point of entry to using the data in its original or transformed state in a report, analysis, or dashboard.
Now, that you have compiled all these data errors (specific to your organization) you can begin to feed some/most of these findings back into your data quality, data governance, and data management frameworks.
Do you know any data hygiene solution providers that include non-postal address ranges with their reference data? August 13, 2007
Posted by Peter Benza in Data Hygiene.add a comment
Group 1 Software is a good example of one company who licenses a advanced geo-coding solution offering that goes beyond using just the USPS supplied (Zip+4) street ranges.
A good example of a non-postal street address are those streets in rural areas across America that have not yet been converted to meet the 911-compliant standards. In order words, not all addresses in rural areas have a house number associated with their address. Also, note a PO Box styled address is typically used in small communities where individuals/businesses will go to pick up their mail daily.
Other companies also providing non-postal street addresses are: Trillium Software, First Logic, and Proxix.
