Profiling data

Data profiling helps assess the quality level of the data according to defined set goals.

Data quality issues can stem from many different sources including, legacy systems, data migrations, database modifications, human communication inconsistencies and countless other potential anomalies. Regardless of the source, data quality issues can impact the ability of business to use its data to make insightful decisions.

If data are of a poor quality, or managed in structures that cannot be integrated to meet the needs of the enterprise, business processes and decision-making suffer.

Compared to manual analysis techniques, data profiling technology improves the enterprise ability to meet the challenge of managing data quality and to address the data quality challenges faced during data migrations and data integrations.
