Improve Data Quality In The Information System

Data quality is key within an organization; analytics determine its strategic decisions. Yet the data quality issue is often considered only after data has already been stored in the information system.

Our preventive approach acts on the prime data entry vector: the user. Your employees are at the source of data input and their competencies will definitely determine the analytics maturity of your company!

The latest cloud applications are easier to use, but business procedures remain complex. Users need to know not only where to click, but also which procedures they should follow.

The Shortways Virtual Assistant delivers relevant business information. In a click employees have access to the information they need: reporting guides, consolidation, manuals, charts of accounts, indicators, definitions, controls and instructions for filling in forms. When users have access to the right procedures and business rules, they are better informed and more likely to enter correct data!

Better data quality on input means less corrective reprocessing later on. It impacts positively your operational activities and ensures that  your decision-makers get reliable dashboards and management charts. Most importantly, it brings cost savings. Poor data quality is costly!
