Research and Markets: A Report on the State of Data Quality Today

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/450862/the_state_of_data) has
announced the addition of the "The State of Data Quality Today" report to their
offering.

The topic of data quality has been with us for decades now but it still remains
an area of concern and debate. Given the substantial investments in tools and
support, has the state of data quality and data management in organizations
genuinely improved over the past two decades? Or is data management generally
still in a ghastly state with organizations feeling that the problem is
overwhelming? Despite a surfeit of tools vendors and much press attention there
is surprisingly little concrete information available regarding the state of
data quality in business. At The Information Difference we believe it important
to both enterprises and vendors to understand the current state of data quality
in organizations, the degree to which they have implemented processes and
software to improve it, the issues faced, the roadblocks to successful
implementation and the business case for data quality. This is the purpose of
this survey.

Key Topics Covered:

* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
