How Business Intelligence (BI) tools contribute to master data quality assurance

Data is currently a prominent topic and is increasingly recognized as a valuable asset for businesses. It’s quite likely that your organization has already attained a certain level of data management maturity. Business processes have been clearly mapped out, and the business rules are documented in a data dictionary. However, the challenge lies in ensuring that these processes and rules are consistently adhered to.

Data Analysis, Monitoring, and Quality Evaluation

Using BI tools such as PowerBI, it is possible to analyze large quantities of (master) data and transform them into clear dashboards. Perspectives can be selected in such a way that they can be displayed per product group or even per responsible data steward. The defined business rules serve as an excellent benchmark for assessing data quality. By periodically refreshing the data in the background (daily, weekly, or monthly, for example), trends in the data can be identified, allowing for necessary adjustments.

BI Tooling Boosts Data Governance

Effectively leveraging BI tooling means you are not confined to the initial setup of perspectives but can dynamically monitor data quality. The measured data quality will also assist the organization in enhancing Data Governance, contributing to demonstrable progress in this area.
