Why we exist
Inaccurate Data Challenge: Unseen to the users, data changes unexpectedly (“corrupts”) just residing in a database or as it moves through different IT systems. Data gets corrupted due to constantly changing data sources, changes in data processing infrastructure and changes in the data itself (due to poor ad hoc data policies). This creates inaccurate analytics, decisions and false reporting.
Frustration: Conventional tools and approaches are unable to validate Cloud Data and Big Data within the required processing speed. Their underlying processing engine was designed for regular data volumes and speeds.
Consequences: Gartner and Boston Consulting Group recently identified that poor quality is a serious hidden rot costing individual companies millions. It impacts as much as 25% of the full potential when making decisions in marketing, finance, pricing, supply chain, etc. 40% of the data initiatives in major corporations fail and lay waste to large IT capex investments due to Data Quality and Data Integrity issues. Data is worthless if it is incorrect. Inaccurate and incomplete data is useless and ultimately become a dangerous legal, PR and financial liability. Paying attention to this critical issue can save a company millions.
