Customer Reviews & Comments
David Loshin's new book, The Practitioner's Guide to Data Quality Improvement, is well-organized, helpful, and on topic. One of my pet peeves is the poor state of data quality rampant just about everywhere these days... and Loshin's text offers expert guidance on how organizations can remedy that situation. The book provides a comprehensive look at data quality from both a business and IT perspective. It does not just cover technology issues, but discusses people, process, and technology. And that is important, because this is the mix that is needed in order to initiate any type of quality improvement regimen. In the book, Loshin shows how to institute and run a data quality program, from start to finish. And this is all helpful information. But I think my favorite chapter of the book is the one on Data Quality Service Level Agreements. This is so because data quality is not a project that can be started and completed. It needs to become an on-going component of our everyday procedures. And only through adopting a service level agreement mentality when it comes to data quality can we ever hope to make data quality monitoring and improvement an accepted, regular component of what we do.
