Practitioner’s Guide to DQ – On Sale at Amazon
Filed under: Uncategorized
I frequently monitor the price of my books on Amazon and noticed that this afternoon the Practitioner’s Guide to Data Quality Improvement was selling for $33.45, which is a discount of 44%. If you have been waiting to buy the book, now is a good time. This is the lowest price I have seen so far.
Here are some aspects I have tried to cover in the book:
- The ability to build a business case for instituting a data quality program;
- Assessing levels of data quality maturity;
- The guidelines and techniques for evaluating data quality and identifying metrics related to the achievement of business objectives;
- The techniques for measuring, reporting, and taking action based on these metrics; and
- The policies and processes used in exploiting data quality tools and technologies for data quality improvement
