Our goal for launching Data Quality Pro is the same in 2020 as it was ‘way back’ in 2007 when we published our first interview.

We strive to serve the latest insights, guidance and innovations shaping the field of Data Quality today.

A lot has changed since we launched.

The discipline of Data Quality, originally a focus for a small community of practitioners, has now taken its rightful place as a driver for success in virtually every information-dependent organisation on the planet.

Today, Data Quality is acknowledged as a keystone element of any data strategy - its inclusion ensuring greater profits, reduced costs and a more productive workforce, not to mention increased customer satisfaction and compliance with regulators.

This increased demand for Data Quality expertise has fuelled an exciting and diverse array of opportunities for anyone looking to seek employment or launch their own business.

Since our own launch, our editorial output has tracked countless professionals as they transformed their careers into entrepreneurial endeavours, including software, consulting and research, all redefining what we mean by the term ‘Data Quality’ today.

Our aim is to help you navigate this complex, ever-changing, industry and discipline.

Treat this site as your own personal portal, a lens on the latest insights and innovations shaping the next generation of Data Quality methods and technology.

Despite this innovation, it’s important to remember that the future of Data Quality should not be shaped by the latest machine learning algorithms, but by the principles of its earliest foundation - the Quality Management movement.

At the heart of Data Quality should be a perpetual quest for excellence in the way we craft our data systems, processes, culture and behaviour.

So, as the quest for data exploitation accelerates, it’s mindful to remember the famous quote:

“Quality is free. It’s not a gift, but it is free. What costs money are the ‘unquality’ things — all the actions that involve not doing jobs right the first time.”

Philip B. Crosby

We truly hope the insights and knowledge contained within this website, created from many years of deep expertise shared by hundreds of experts across the globe, will help you take your Data Quality career, project or business to the next level.

To your Data Quality success.

Editor of Data Quality Pro
