Benefits of Data Profiling
Profiling provides quantifiable benefits; you can calculate the value.
See who can benefit from data profiling
and learn why profiling can increase the effectiveness of extract, transform and
load (ETL) tools.
- Identifies Data Entry Errors
- Avoids Data Migration Rework
- Quantifies Data Corruption
- Optimizes Data Management Environment
- Increases Efficacy of Major Data Tools
- Enables enterprise-level data
- Enables meta-data repository
- Identifies Data Entry Errors
Ideally, your systems were designed with checks and edits to protect
against data entry errors. In
reality, there ends up being a tradeoff between quality control and
processing throughput. Every
system lets data errors in. ProfilerSuitcase
saves you money by detecting errors before they cost you dollars and
customers.
- Avoids Data Migration Rework
Critical human resources can be targeted to resolve data anomalies
rather than in manual investigation or costly rework.
Significant savings result when anomalies are addressed up-front with
risk management strategies, rather than in endless cycles of migrate, fix
fallout, reattempt to migrate.
- Quantifies Data Corruption
By quantifying degrees of corruption, a business can make a
knowledgeable decision about where corrective efforts will be most
effective.
- Optimizes Data Management Environment
Identifying and removing unnecessary, redundant and obsolete data
streamlines the technical environment.
Disk space is freed up, resulting in direct savings in both the
environment and administration costs.
- Increases Efficacy of Major Data Tools
Profiling results can be used to increase the effectiveness of
source-to-target transformation mappings in ETL tools.
And a business intelligence tool can use derived quantitative
measurements of the structure within data content to create statistical
models of the attribute domain.
- Enables enterprise-level data
When used with other processes to evaluate applications,
KnowledgeDriver provides significant input for defining an enterprise view
of data.
- Enables meta-data repository
Meta-data
is a natural by-product of profiling.
