BOSTON, April 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian Data
Quality, a leading provider of data quality software and services,
today announced the release of a new research study, Ease
the data migration burden. The study finds that while the
majority of organizations are engaging in data migrations, they
face significant challenges that affect the success of their
projects.
To ease these challenges, organizations need to improve
communication techniques with early stakeholder engagement, improve
data management processes and ensure profiling and analysis take
place. The data finds:
- While 91 percent of businesses engage in data migration
projects, 85 percent face challenges
- Organizations are plagued by a high degree of inaccurate
information with a third of data in U.S. organizations believed to
be inaccurate
- The most common challenge is a lack of collaboration or sharing
of knowledge across departments, with technology providers, or with
database consultants
"Data migrations have become an essential part of data
management, with a large number of system upgrades, mergers or
general data consolidation," said Thomas
Schutz, senior vice president and general manager of
Experian Data Quality. "The desire to gain insight from data is so
great that these projects are of critical importance to gaining
customer understanding and executing business operations. While
many face challenges, they can be alleviated or lessened with the
right level of planning and data insight early and often throughout
the project."
