Business impacts of your data quality

The power of data is undeniable—it fuels core processes, empowers decision-makers, enhances customer experiences, and drives overall business success. However, the true potential of data can only be unlocked when it meets the high standards of accuracy, completeness, and reliability. 

In the absence of automated data creation and maintenance, the occurrence of data errors becomes more than just an inconvenience – and especially in the field of business partner data. The repercussions of bad data ripple across the entirety of business functions, and the consequences are far from trivial, as the very foundation of your business processes and relationships begins to crumble.

A low level of data quality will reduce the value of the data assets in the company because its usability is minimal. Data quality characterizes the degree of how given data objects satisfy the needs of consuming business processes. In a broader sense, it refers to both the quality of data content as well as the performance of the underlying data management processes.

Additionally, data quality measurement gives you transparency and enables to monitor the compliance with regulatory requirements.
