Data Quality

Data quality is a major challenge for organizations adopting advanced analytics and reporting capabilities. A successful data quality management strategy requires experienced data stewards and expertise to:

Identify, assess and monitor the impact of data quality issues on the business

Design structured processes for reporting and resolving data quality issues

Develop a technical solution that is scalable and flexible, with people, process and technology at its core

Enterprise analytics and reporting capabilities regularly suffer from data quality issues. These arise due to the lack of consistent terminology, the need for varying technology solutions and a lack of user education.

Businesses make critical decisions based on enterprise data. Poor data quality can lead to incorrect decisions, which can result in major setbacks and/or have significant financial implications. It follows that uncompromising data quality is a pre-requisite for any progressive business.

Deliverables​

Hoonartek data quality services address the key ingredients of an effective data quality solution. These include:

BI Reporting and Data Visualization

Business Intelligence (BI) reports are used to track and monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) for any business function. The capability now includes data visualization technologies that provide intelligent visual insights into data.

Standardized KPI’s that can be monitored consistently by all relevant users in an organization, using the latest data visualization toolset

Serves as the single version of truth for KPI’s. Any discrepancy in numbers reported by multiple functions, within an organization, leads to flawed data

Should be set up as an enterprise capability, to ensure adherence to best practices

Deliverables​

• Integrated data delivery strategy, encompassing analytics, BI reporting, data visualization and ad-hoc capability in desktop, mobile & cloud
• Assessment of enterprise reporting needs, including analytical to operational needs, alignment of reporting needs, selection of tools and implementation

Analytical Models

Advanced analytics usually involves complex analytics models, such as predictive and regression, to generate important insights. Analysts spend a significant amount of time constructing, debugging, and optimizing algorithms for these analytical models. Their successful implementation requires a deep understanding of advanced mathematics and statistics, as well as computational methods and, most importantly, an extensive understanding of the business domain.

Deliverables​

• Business analysis and an understanding of the enterprise’s needs for analytics
• Data preparation and creation of suitable analytical models (forecast, prediction etc.) using different techniques such as custom algorithms, decision tree etc.
• Implementation of various commercial tools for analytical modelling (SAS, R, Matlab)
• Model management and enhancement
