When it comes to modern business, data is the bedrock of decision-making and strategic planning. High-quality data empowers leaders to navigate the complex marketplace with precision and foresight. Without it, they are navigating in the dark and making decisions based on intuition rather than insight.
Look at the big leaders in any given market. They have access to accurate, reliable, and timely data. And because of it, they find themselves with a strategic advantage. They can anticipate trends, understand customer behaviors in granular detail, and make proactive decisions. The challenge, however, lies in ensuring that the data at their disposal is the highest quality – clean, accurate, consistent, and comprehensive. Many companies are not equipped to manage data quality at scale, whether starting from ground-zero or executing on an existing “playbook.”
This is where Data Quality as a Service (DQaaS) comes into play. DQaaS is the solution to the problem of maintaining the integrity of data in an expanding digital ecosystem. It ensures that business leaders have high-quality data that is actionable for their strategies.
At Datagence, we believe that business who expect to succeed today need actionable intelligence, a derivative of actionable data.

What Quality Data Does for Business Intelligence
As businesses seek to broaden their horizons and enter new markets, the foundation of their journey should be high-quality data. Data informs every facet of business strategy in the digital – from identifying emerging market trends and understanding customer needs to optimizing operations and mitigating risks.
However, the value of data is not just in its collection but in its quality.
Forecasting is an indispensable tool for businesses, allowing them to anticipate market trends, manage resources efficiently, and plan for future growth. However, the integrity of any forecasting system is fundamentally tied to the quality of the data it processes. Pumping data into a forecasting system without managing its quality is like setting sail in stormy weather with a broken rudder and no compass.
Accurate data guides businesses reliably through the complexities of new industries and verticals. It provides the insights necessary to make decisions that lead to sustainable growth and competitive advantage.
For public companies, the stakes are exponentially higher.
They project their financial health and future profitability to shareholders, analysts, and the broader market. Accuracy in these projections is key, as they influence investor confidence, stock prices, and the company’s market valuation. Operating with subpar data – a situation far too common in organizations that overlook the critical role of data quality – can lead to significant financial consequences, including stock price volatility and loss of investor trust.
Many closed businesses didn’t get this right.
By leveraging DQaaS and a framework like Datagence Core, companies can be sure their decisions are reliable and realistic based on accurate data. This safeguards the company’s credibility and compliance and fortifies investor confidence and market stability.
The Dilemma of In-House Data Management vs. Expert DQaaS Providers
How do you put a framework like Datagence Core in place? It can be tricky. Faced with the challenge of acquiring and managing quality data, companies are at a crossroads.
The traditional route involves significant investment in building a data team – hiring data scientists, analysts, and engineers to mine, clean, and analyze data. This approach has its own challenges, including the substantial cost of recruitment, training, and retention.
Moreover, the landscape of data management is ever-evolving. It requires constant up skilling and technological upgrades. Having a data team requires continuous investment, both in terms of finance and time. And, for many organizations, having a large data management team in-house is just too much.
Luckily, with a DQaaS provider, you no longer have to perform this function in-house.
The Strategic Advantage of Partnering with a DQaaS Provider
An increasingly viable alternative is partnering with an expert DQaaS provider, and there are several advantages to working with one.
First, it eliminates the overheads associated with building and maintaining an in-house data team. DQaaS providers bring a wealth of experience, advanced technologies, and proven methodologies tailored to enhance data quality and utility. These providers work within your standards and governance frameworks, providing a bespoke service that aligns with your strategic objectives.
Second, DQaaS providers offer scalability and flexibility that in-house teams might struggle to match. As your business grows or shifts focus, your DQaaS partner can adjust its services to meet your evolving needs without the need for additional recruitment or training on your part.
Last, the expertise and specialized focus of DQaaS providers ensure that your data management and quality control are in capable hands. This leaves your business free to concentrate on core activities, secure in the knowledge that your data strategy is driving you towards informed decisions and, ultimately, real revenue growth.
