TIQ Solutions GmbH
Silver Sponsor
Specific solutions for sustainable data quality management
TIQ Solutions offers you high quality, problem oriented solutions which enable you to achieve sustainable improvements to the quality of your data resources. Our experienced and qualified consultants are trained on applying the “Total Data Quality Management” methods developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. According to this concept, information items are regarded as ‘products’ which are to be managed by company staff (data collectors, data analysts etc.) using defined quality benchmarks.
We devote our attention not only to the classical areas of customer and address data, but consider the whole range of information which is generated in and flows through an organisation. Furthermore, our services are not restricted to treating symptoms, but focus especially on identifying causes of poor data quality.
Only through this comprehensive approach, sustainable efficiency in business practices can be achieved, thus avoiding the need to apply the same costly data cleansing routines over and over again. Therefore we regard software tools for data cleansing as helpful aids, but they do not represent the solution itself!
