Dear fellow members:
It’s my pleasure to present this quarter’s six articles:
- Jack Olson completes his two-part series on Data Quality Assurance. Part Two focuses on the Activities that any Data Quality Assurance program can engage in to bring about data quality improvements.
- Richard Trapp, in his article entitled The Non-Traditional Challenges to Achieving Data Quality Success, identifies eight challenges in four distinct data quality gap areas, and presents considerations for overcoming them.
- Johny Morris expounds on his Practical Data Migration (PDM) approach and explains how such an approach addresses Data Quality in Data Migration Projects.
- Graham Rhind shares Best Practices for High Quality Data from Web Forms to counter poor designs and improve the quality of the data our forms collect.
- Daragh O Brien goes Beyond Scorecards and Measures in a new series that explores the issue of Motivation and Leadership in Data Quality Management. Part 1 appears in this issue and focuses on Motivation.
- Carlo Batini and Monica Scannapieco survey existing Classifications of Data Quality Costs and Benefits and present an integrated classification model that can be used as checklists during cost-benefit analysis activities.
Don’t forget to visit the Association News section for information on the upcoming 2010 IDQ Conference.
