What does the self-service data quality (SSDQ) platform do?
It empowers data owners and SMEs to measure and maintain data quality themselves in line with governance policies. SSDQ is already adding value at multiple investment and retail banks, wealth managers, and data vendors helping them to:
- Achieve end-to-end holistic data quality management
- Measure data against industry-standard dimensions and regulations
- Empower data stewards / subject matter experts to remediate data
How can SSDQ help?
SSDQ connects to source systems and data repositories, measures the quality of the information, and automatically reports on the health of underlying data to data owners via interactive data quality dashboards. The platform’s Data Quality Clinic function offers business users the opportunity to explore the root cause of data quality breaks, make decisions, or fix records themselves. The system is powerful enough to enable business users and SMEs to perform complex data operations without highly skilled technical assistance from IT. It is also flexible and open, designed to integrate easily with existing data infrastructure, and agile enough to quickly onboard new data sets and meet changing data quality demands.
Is the platform hard to learn how to use?
SSDQ has been built with the non-technical business user in mind. We provide full training alongside our consultancy services so that, within a matter of weeks, we are confident that we can help you to become fully self-sufficient in rule building, creating workflows and automations and fixing your broken data.
