Accuracy to Make the Best Decisions

Analysis is only valid if you trust the data. For businesses and organizations trying to cope with multiple IT and business asset data stores (contracts, CMDBs, HR information, etc.), they face the challenges of dealing with multiple permutations and data issues including:

• Misspellings and typos (e.g. "Albuquerque," "Albuquerqe," "Albaquerque")
• Inconsistent referencing (e.g. "Acme," "Acme Corp.," "Acme Corporation")
• Invalid data
• Too much or too little data
• Inconsistent data
