Master Data Curation is a process aimed at improving the overall quality of data throughout the business.
Here's how:
* Data Quality Improvement:
* De-duplication: The process involves identifying and eliminating duplicate records to ensure a single, accurate version of each data entity.
* Data Cleaning: Removes inaccuracies and inconsistencies, enhancing the reliability of the data.
* Benefits of De-duplication:
* Accuracy: Ensures that each entity (e.g., customer, product) is represented only once, improving data accuracy and reducing redundancy.
* Operational Efficiency: Streamlines operations by eliminating duplicate records that can cause confusion and errors in business processes.
