 When does data become information?
Focus on Data Quality
Knowledge is information - information is good quality data. Clean and accurate information can directly translate to the bottom line for companies and can give them a competitive edge over others. The mammoth amount of raw data produced by businesses can just be bits and bytes if proper attention is not paid to its quality. Information is the key to any organization's growth and it is only as good as the data that is used to build it.
According to the Gartner Group, "most information reengineering initiatives will fail due to a lack of data quality". European Companies rank poor Data Quality as their second biggest Business Intelligence Problem.
More and more companies are focusing on data quality. They are beginning to realize that the initial investment in time and resources that they put into cleaning their data can prove to be a tremendous return on investment (ROI) in the future.

“Alpine played a crucial role in conceptualizing and implementing our CDI Hub using DataStage, QualityStage, and ProfileStage. Their readiness to document the knowledge and transfer it to our employees was noticeably impressive!” --K.S. Sr. Project Manager, Large Manufacturing Company in WI.
“I love what it allows us to do now! Before (EAS), a fraudster could be long gone before we knew that they were at one of our casinos. Or maybe we wouldn't have known at all. Now, with the powerful alert capabilities, Boyd can respond immediately. That's huge!...We were very pleased with the whole implementation process.” --Deborah Cooper, Project Manager at Boyd Gaming Corporation
