In the age of AI, data quality is paramount. Without clean, accurate, and up-to-date data, AI and machine learning models struggle to deliver meaningful insights. At Vizify Analytics, we understand the critical role that data quality plays in driving successful AI initiatives.
The High Cost of Poor Data Quality
Did you know that poor data quality costs organisations an average of $15 million per year in losses? This staggering figure, reported by Gartner a while back, underscores the significant financial impact of data quality issues, indicating a widespread problem with data accuracy and reliability. Many businesses still suffer from these issues, leading to substantial revenue losses and missed opportunities due to poor decision-making.
Common Data Quality Challenges
- Data Silos: Data silos occur when data is stored in isolated systems or departments within an organisation, making it difficult to access and integrate for comprehensive analysis. This fragmentation hampers organisations’ ability to gain holistic insights from their data, leading to missed opportunities for informed decision-making and strategic planning. For instance, marketing teams may have customer data that is not easily accessible to sales or customer support teams, limiting the organisation’s ability to provide personalised customer experiences or targeted marketing campaigns.
- Human Error: Manual data entry is a leading cause of data inaccuracies. These errors propagate through systems, undermining data reliability and leading to flawed analytics and decision outcomes. Minimising human error through automation, validation checks, and user training is essential to improving data quality and maintaining data integrity across all organisational processes.
- Lack of Data Governance: Data governance refers to the overall management of the availability, usability, integrity, and security of data within an organisation. A lack of formal data governance frameworks complicates data management and integrity. Without clear standards, organisations struggle to establish clear data ownership, enforce data quality standards, and ensure compliance with regulations such as GDPR or CCPA. This lack of governance can lead to inconsistent data definitions, unauthorized data access, and increased risks of data breaches or regulatory penalties.
