I will be presenting at a webinar hosted by Talend on December 2 at 2:00PM EDT, 11:00AM PDT on Fundamtental Techniques to Maximize the Value of Your Enterprise Data. In this presentation I will discuss the convergence of the value of three interconnected techniques: master data managemetn, data integration, and data quality. As data repurposing grows, so do the challenges in centralizing semantics, and we wil look at some common challenges. Join me on Dec 2!

Just published! My new book on data quality improvement, called The Practitioner's Guide to Data Quality Improvement was released a few weeks ago and is now available. The book provides practical information about the business impacts of poor data quality and provides pragmatic suggestions on building your data quality roadmap, assessing data quality, and adapting data quality tools and technology to improve profitability, reduce organizational risk, increase productivity, and enhance overall trust in enterprise data.

I have an accompanying web site for the book at www.dataqualitybook.com. At that site I am posting my ongoing thoughts about data quality (and other topics!) and you can download a free sample chapter on data quality maturity!

Please visit the site, check out the chapter, and let me know your thoughts by email: loshin@knowledge-integrity.com.
