Many companies are migrating data from disparate systems to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications. Information quality can make or break these types of projects – to help a project stay on time and within budget or break the project by increased project costs and timelines due to poor quality data. Once the ERP is in production, there are also data quality challenges due to managing data in an integrated environment. Topics include:

• Including data quality activities during migration
• Continuing information quality in production
• The role of data governance and stewardship in an ERP environment
• Real-life best practices and lessons learned in the challenging world of ERP
