DATA CLEANSING

Data Cleansing is a data remediation activity that is undertaken to address the range of data issues that inevitably accumulate within business systems over time.

Cleansing helps to restore data integrity and accuracy, leading to better business decisions and greater client confidence.


Data cleansing improves business efficiency and reduces costs by:
  • Providing consistency within and between business systems.
  • Removing redundant / duplicate data.
  • Improving the quality of critical business records.
  • Reducing data volumes and associated storage requirements.

Business Applications for Cleansing
Data Cleansing is necessary for the ongoing maintenance of data quality within business systems.

As systems and business needs evolve there is a general degradation in overall data quality. Data cleansing serves to 'refresh' business data by getting it back to an appropriate state.


When should Data be Cleansed?
Data Cleansing is associated with data migration and is generally undertaken in conjunction with any of the following activities:
  • Replacement of legacy systems.
  • Upgrades of application software, databases or infrastructure.
  • Decommisioning of old system platforms.

Data cleansing can also address live system data issues that are impacting normal business activities.
