Data Quality and Metadata Management Services

These days the most difficult and sensitive task for the enterprises is maintaining data quality. When the quality of data is compromised or interpretations go wrong and there is a leakage of information from the data warehouse, you can lose the confidence and trust of your customers. It is obvious that losing the customers’ confidence could put your business at risk.

The data quality plight usually arises from failure of system architectures in identifying the “bad” data, before it is loaded into the data warehouse. This leads to an unnecessary rise in the time and cost needed to reconcile and audit the warehouse information. This is where metadata comes to rescue. Inserting technical metadata tags directly into the warehouse’s data model design and the ETL processes could help the enterprises by measuring data quality precisely.

The numerous advantages of using technical metadata include source system identification, improved management of ETL processes, measurement of data quality and database administration. It also increases the data integrity benefiting both the warehouse technical and business users by boosting the confidence in the quality of information.
