Keynote Presentation

While our work on educating the masses about the importance of data quality will likely never end, we’ve made good progress in recent years. Many more organizations are aware of the importance of the issue than in the past, and more are taking action each day. Going forward, the challenge for data quality practitioners will shift from building the business case and initiating momentum, to increasing the pace of improvement and sustaining on-going value. What roles, skills, and practices have proven to be key for success in data quality improvement? Which will be critical to carry forward into the future? How will the markets and technologies for data quality improvement evolve, and what opportunities and challenges will this present?
