According to an independent study by KRC Research carried out in April 2003, two-thirds of European organisations say that "dirty data" adversely affects their profitability.
Poor quality data seriously compromises the quality of management decision-making. It can also be bad for your company's image and reputation. Take marketing data for example - activities based on incorrect or duplicated data can mean customer dissatisfaction as well as wasted budgets. How many of us receive badly addressed and misspelt mailings, or receive the same mailing or call more than once? According to the KRC Research study, 81% of respondents admitted that poor customer data impacts campaign profitability. The flip side is that high quality data means better decision-making, reduced costs, an improved reputation and more receptive customers - all of which can have a measurable impact on profits. Clean data is one of SAS' core competences. We're therefore delighted to announce a new two-day course in Data Quality that will help you tackle this issue head on.
