Data Cleansing
Lay the foundations… data, data, data.
If the information you hold is accurate and up-to-date then your marketing results will reflect that.
Data cleansing, data cleaning or data enrichment is the process of detecting and validating, correcting or removing information from a database.
With all the changes in people’s personal and business lives, data decays at a rate of roughly 20-24% per year. Constant and regular cleansing of data should be a priority when looking to achieve objectives, improve communications, customer service and for future planning.
Data inevitably decays over time therefore the process of data cleansing helps organisations keep their data up to date and removes the risks that out of date data is prone to cause.There is significant business value to be achieved by managing and ensuring your data is clean.
Data is Strategic Information
We’ve been doing this for years, and our approach is consultative. Define your business objectives… understand what data you need to achieve those objectives… review what data you currently hold… and create a path to bridge the gap.
