Abstract

Abstract

Data Quality refers to the processes which help in analyzing or validating the data based on different business rules. As a leading financial providers with a growing customer it is very difficult to maintain their detailed and secured data. An adjustment in the customer data was done very frequently (everyday) and it was done manually. Monitoring huge chunks of present and historical data is a complex task. The client will not take any risk even in losing any one of its secured financial data. The client’s current system has lot of limitations such as monitoring, adjusting, and validating employee data. The data that was in crude form was processed in order to satisfy the need of the end user for this kind of analysis. The user data and roles from different sources, legacy systems, interfaces need to be kept in track for audit and to overcome these limitations, the client implemented Certification Application, which not only allowed supervisors to certify their subordinates from various source systems but also used for auditing purpose on a fiscal year basis by which data integrity is maximized and data redundancy is minimized, as the single centralized place of all data also implies that a given set of data only has one primary record which helps maintaining of data accurate and consistent to enhances data reliability. Easier for use by the end-user due to the simplicity of having a single database design. This helped the business to have an auditing of the secured data which in turn assisted appropriate financial decisions to the stake holders.
