Introduction

Following the discussion on different types of business data, this article focuses on the identification, classification, and quantification of data issues. It explores the classification of data problems, parameters for measuring data quality, and analysis of data sources.

Data Problem Classification

Data issues within organizations can hinder the full utilization of data for growth. Identifying and classifying these issues is crucial for effective data management. Data problems generally fall into four categories: data silos, data governance issues, data inconsistencies, and inefficient data processing. Various combinations of these issues can manifest in data management, often due to lack of data governance leading to inconsistencies or inefficient processes creating silos, among other scenarios. Understanding and analyzing the root causes of these issues is essential for addressing them.

Measuring Data Quality

Measuring data quality is vital for understanding the current state of data management processes and areas for improvement. Data quality is measured on attributes such as accuracy, consistency, completeness, conformity, and timeliness. In addition, the relevance, understandability, and objectivity of data are also important to consider when aiming for a high return on investment in data initiatives.

Data Source Analysis

After identifying and quantifying data issues, it is necessary to define and design a data management solution. Data sources are analyzed based on parameters like volume, generation rate, accuracy, and diversity. Understanding these parameters helps in designing the right data infrastructure to meet processing needs, informing decisions on database size, data lakes, big data infrastructure, NoSQL databases, and real-time data consumption.

Conclusion

By adopting a step-by-step objective approach, it is possible to identify, classify, and quantify data problems. Analysis can guide the utilization of existing technological capabilities to solve these issues, building robust, scalable, and flexible data management solutions for businesses of any size. It is also important to design and define a data strategy that addresses the current data processes, demands, pain points, and future goals of organizations and industries. Stay tuned for the upcoming series on various data solutions and their applicable scenarios.
