Organise

In order to Analyse and Utilise data effectively, you have to trust the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of your data.

Do you?

Many organisations find that the data collected by their business systems is incomplete, incoherent or simply wrong. Data gaps, inconsistencies, errors and duplicates then find their way into all information produced from your data - some of the more obvious examples include:

• Incorrect allocation of profit/loss or asset/liability - leading to misleading management accounting
• Clients linked to incorrect regions, salespeople or industry sectors - preventing clear measurement and management, and hampering change programmes
• Products with limited, or no, specification information - leading to duplication of inventory and an inability to measure line-level profit 
• Poor categorisation of products, suppliers or offers - limiting purchasing choices, stifling marketing promotions and preventing innovation

The list is almost endless - every failure in data quality causes several, often many, knock-on failings; ad hoc business processes spring up, providing workarounds to data issues, but reducing automation, destroying flexibility and constricting growth.

Atheon Consulting helps you to understand, measure and improve data quality in your organisation - attributing specific costs to the problems that ensue - and can assist you with:

• Developing an appropriate master data management approach for your business 
• Tackling data problems through highly-automated, rules-based matching and cleansing
