We keep mentioning our expertise in data quality and we constantly talk about our Global Data Quality Suite but what does it all really mean? And why should you care about it?

In a nutshell, bad data is bad for business. Statistics show that 2% of revenue is lost on dealing with incorrect data which results in a reduction in marketing spending, availability of resources, staff time and customer engagement. Adding to that, 88% of companies report that inaccurate contact data negatively impacts profitability.

Getting to grips with your data means enhanced customer engagement and improved customer loyalty with 37% of companies claiming that good quality data improves business performance. The use of a data quality tool can lead to:

• Enhanced business intelligence and data mining
• Increased sales and responses
• Better risk management and compliance
• Improved data governance
• Reductions in future data-related costs
• Effective customer targeting.

The list goes on but the moral of the story is that bad data is linked to errors in data entry, erroneous data from internet forms, fault database purchases and outdated data that will impact business performance and cause problems in business intelligence.

With Melissa’s Global Data Quality Suite, which is made up of email, phone, name and address verification tools you’re able to take control of your data to find your own data drive competitive advantage. Our data quality tools allow you to cleanse, verify, enrich, update, match, merge and monitor your data meaning that you have the ability to reduce the potential of bad data, reduce time lost to insufficient data and reduce the effort required to maintain accurate databases.
