Organise
In order to Analyse and Utilise data effectively, you have to be able to trust your data completely.
Do you?
Many businesses find that the data collected by their business systems is incomplete, incoherent or just downright wrong. Data gaps, inconsistencies, errors and duplicates find their way into every set of information produced from your data - some of the more obvious examples include:
- Incorrect allocation of profit / loss or asset / liability - leading to misleading management accounting
- Clients linked to incorrect regions, salespeople or industry sectors - preventing clear measurement and management
- Products with limited, or no, specification information - leading to duplication of inventory
- Poor categorisation or products, suppliers or offers - limiting purchasing choice
The list is almost endless - every failure in data quality causes one, several or hundreds of knock-on failings. Ad hoc business processes evolve to provide workarounds to data issues; reducing automation, destroying flexibility and constricting growth.
Atheon Consulting, and our specialist associates, help you to understand the impact of data quality failures in your business - attributing specific costs to the problems that ensue - and can assist you with:
- Developing an appropriate master data management approach for your business
- Tackling the resultant data problems through highly-automated, rules-based matching and cleansing
- Defining, or utilising appropriate standards, effective categorisation schemes that remain flexible and extensible
