Steps to Achieving High Data Quality - Data Entry

Maintaining High Data Quality
Step 1 ... Data Quality Point of Entry

Maintaining high data quality is critical to business success. Yet unreliable, outdated, or inaccurate data costs U.S. businesses more than $600 billion annually. Data Quality Software is used to cleanse data, correct addresses, correct contact information, detect duplications, correctly field data, personalize data, merge and validate data saving both time and money.

Each week we will give you pointers on improving your data quality and offer suggestions for the software products which incorporporate these features.

Step 1:
Data Quality Point of Entry Solutions

Real-Time Data Quality Is Critical to ROI. Don’t lose leads from bad data entered on your website, or waste time and money sending mail to non-deliverable addresses. Real-time data solutions will improve the quality of your data at point of entry.

1-10-100 rule

Point of entry data management is ultimately important because of the “1-10-100 rule,” which illustrates the importance of being proactive. The rule states that it costs only $1 to verify a record, $10 to cleanse and de-dupe it after it has been entered, but $100 in potential lost productivity or revenue if nothing at all is done.

While identifying and correcting bad data is important, it is far more cost effective to manage data in real time, at the point of entry. User errors can be costly. Over 25 percent of data problems are because of entry errors by potential customers, and are a major factor in poor data quality. It costs U.S. businesses billions each year, according to The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI).

The solutions offered by FTI can help you lower the costs of sales, marketing and customer service, by cleaning your database of inaccurate or incomplete contact data—at point of entry.

Another point of poor data quality is falsified or fraudulent information. Fraud involving identity theft is costing merchants big, an estimated $3.3 billion in 2009, according to Cybersource, a risk management solutions firm.

Up-to-date, correct and consistent data, starting at Point of entry, helps ensure timely deliveries of goods, fast ROI and great customer interactions!
