10/12/2016


Experian Data Quality, a leading provider of data quality software and services, today announced the release of its free tool Experian Data Profiler on https://www.edq.com/. The tool allows users to automatically analyze and explore up to 50 million records to discover and measure potential issues. Leveraging this insight, businesses can prioritize their data quality investment decisions, avoid business problems caused by inaccurate data and improve business processes.  

“Organizations want to be data-driven, but bad data is still getting in the way. By gaining a better understanding of their information, businesses can truly unlock the power of their data,” said Thomas Schutz, senior vice president and general manager for Experian Data Quality. “We want to help businesses make smarter, data-driven decisions. This tool allows any business to profile its data quickly and easily, without having to commit budget. By understanding trends, proactively managing data and putting quantifiable metrics in place, organizations can more effectively compile a business case for data quality improvements and accelerate towards accurate and trustworthy data.”

On average, U.S. organizations believe that 23 percent of their data is inaccurate. The free Experian Data Profiler allows users with no specialist skills to better understand the depth of their data quality issues, assess how those issues are impacting their business and take action to correct those problems.

Combining robust data profiling with high performance and an easy-to-use interface, Experian Data Quality allows businesses to gain insight, produce data quality reports and model correction rules more quickly. The tool brings together data from disparate sources and allows users to build customer rules for efficient data quality reporting.
