Achieving GDPR compliance is impossible without Data Management and Data Governance. That's a bold statement but it is borne out by any in-depth examination of the tasks necessary to achieve compliance.

What if you could predict with near-perfect accuracy what you’re going to sell and when your customer is going to buy? Right supply, right time is the goal German manufacturers have set themselves, without reducing the configuration options customers expect. Having almost completed stage 1 of their plan – changing
Have you ever had problems matching data that has typographical errors in it? Because of the nature of arbitrary typos and incorrect spelled words a specific matching technique is required to tackle those cases. SAS Data Quality, with its traditional, in nature deterministic matching approach is by nature not best
Some organizations I visit don’t seem to have changed their analytics technology environment much since the early days of IT. I often encounter companies with 70s-era base statistical packages running on mainframes or large servers, data warehouses (originated in the 80s), and lots of reporting applications. These tools usually continue
Two years ago, I found myself the proud, first-time owner of a garage. My wife and I quickly started to add new items to the garage – a battery-powered lawn mower, two beach cruisers and four Tommy Bahama beach chairs. They were stored with ease.

Some weeks have passed since the United Kingdom voted, by a margin of 52 per cent for and 48 per cent against, to leave the European Union, the organization it's been a leading member of since 1973. The tumultuous global reaction to the vote has those of us in information

New technologies – many designed to better leverage big data – challenge existing data infrastructures and business models. This forces enterprises to modernize their approach to data
We all find change easier when it starts with something we’re familiar with. That’s why I think sports analytics examples are popular – most of us are sports fans, so we get it more easily. It’s also why automotive examples that illustrate the potential reach of the Internet of Things
In my last post, I started to look at the use of Hadoop in general and the data lake concept in particular as part of a plan for modernizing the data environment. There are surely benefits to the data lake, especially when it's deployed using a low-cost, scalable hardware platform.
Matchcodes spielen bei der Identifizierung von Dubletten eine zentrale Rolle. Um die Dubletten anhand von Matchcodes zu finden, müssen die Daten meistens erst noch aufbereitet werden. Stehen beispielsweise Anrede und Vor-/Nachname oder Straße und Hausnummer im selben Feld, müssen diese separiert werden, dadurch können bessere Match-Ergebnisse erzielt werden.

These: Zum Daten-MAN-gen braucht man Software. Hat man mehr Daten, nimmt man mehr Software… „Mehr vom selben!“ – jener Kulturtechnik aus der Ecke „viel hilft viel“. Stimmt das so? Man kann dies‘ knifflige Thema von verschiedenen Seiten beleuchten – im Folgenden einige mehr oder minder ernste Ansätze dazu:
