Data Capture
Capturing data in a logical and consistent fashion with adequate detail is not always straightforward. However, it is absolutely vital if organisations want to analyse their business data. Often, data quality will let you down at the final hurdle.
Consequently, data reporting and analysis is either incomplete or inaccurate. Solutions such as Microsoft Dynamics NAV on SQL Server offer a good starting point. In particular, Dynamics NAV enables extensive dimensional data capture which in turn creates the opportunity to analyse data to a greater level of detail when compared to most other data capture solutions in the market.
It is also possible to extend data capture beyond the back office using mobile or intranet based solutions such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007) or ExpandIT. These BI tools ensure that data is available for analysis at the earliest opportunity and lowers the risk of data error.
When organisations have vast amounts of information, it is very difficult to monitor the overall quality of data and its consistency. Although systems like Dynamics NAV and SharePoint (MOSS 2007) can ensure that data is captured in a uniform way, the data capture process needs to be regularly reviewed.
ADA uses a range of data usage tools to ensure the data that we have captured is of the highest standard and is thoroughly maintained. This ensures data accuracy and consistency throughout.
