Ensuring & Maintaining Data Quality: Data Quality for Data in Motion & Data at Rest
Businesses that apply mature Information Technology processes understand “Data Quality as the foundation of Business Intelligence”, and therefore are aware of data quality problems. At the same time, there is a common misconception that data quality is expensive and is not required through early maturity stages. However, this has the opposite effect of accumulating bad data in the operational data stores and data warehouses, which then requires a huge effort to fix. This whitepaper, useful for data stewards, enterprise architects, project managers, and IT executives, examines how the data quality problems arise even in the most controlled environments and the measures to be taken to ensure and maintain data quality in operational and data warehousing systems.

An Agile Enterprise can gain significant competitive advantage by getting products to market sooner. All of these advantages can be explained in terms of Agile principles and practices.

Actionable Data Governance: Talk is Cheap, But Can You Really Implement a Sustainable Data Governance Program?
There is so much written right now about data governance. Who needs data governance? In truth, some organizations (usually very small) do not need a robust data governance program. However, the rest of us do need to consider things like who is using the data, where is the data being used, and the accuracy of the data. Along with all those ‘data’ issues come business rules, data policies, and usage guidelines. Not the easiest endeavor – data governance!

“CIBER’s proposal was so comprehensive, yet at the same time it offered value-priced services and infrastructure that fit our budget. It was a tall order that they filled easily. Most importantly, their design saved us a great deal of money that would otherwise have been allocated to annual ERP system licensing fees.”

Bill Foley — Director of Materials Management, Northeast Georgia Health Systems

“CIBER was excellent to work with. They listened to our challenges, found creative solutions, and worked hard to accommodate our time constraints. The information they provided us on the licensing saved us a great deal of money. Working with CIBER helped us improve our costs while also improving patient care – this is a win/win situation for NGHS and our patients.”

They quickly put together the facility, infrastructure, methodologies, and risk mitigation strategies we needed. As we expand into new markets, CIBER can provide strong local capabilities backed by their global organization to support our growth.”

Anthony Sanzo — CEO, TeleTracking Technologies

“When you think of hospitals, you don’t necessarily think of information technology. However, IT services such as help desk, network operations, administrative support, software, and Web development are critical to our ability to provide the best possible services to our customers. CIBER has proven its skill in delivering these services effectively and efficiently, and we’re happy to have them on board.”

Donald Brooks — Deputy Chief of Information Management, U.S. Army’s Womack Army Medical Center

“The migration of our business system provides greater functionality so we can increase efficiency, reduce costs, and give patients greater care. Although the software is important, the migration would not have been successful without CIBER’s change management expertise, vision, project oversight, and partnership. Over the length of the project, CIBER and our staff truly worked as partners and established the foundation for process improvements that will deliver value for the next several years.”

Isadore Rivas — Vice President of Finance, Clarian Health Partners
