In this interview, George will go over

  • What does Good Data mean 0:46
  • The first challenging of having good data in a company 1:31
  • The misconception of having good data 4:17
  • Why companies should treat data quality management as an ongoing investment 9:26
  • Fixing data at the right layer 11:00

Takeaways

  • We need to treat data as an asset and the importance of having good data in our organization
  • Create an overall data quality management in your company. The data quality likely will drop when it is transferred over to another database or be consumed by another application
  • Data quality tends to decay. For example, your customers move to a new place or a new company. We should treat data quality management as an on-going program, not a one time off project.
  • A lot of data issues are "fixed" in reports and dashboards but they should be fixed at the source level so that all processes and systems benefit from it.
