ViaData provides various data-related services to businesses, including:

• Data migration - which involves the transferring and transforming of data from one system to another (also referred to as an ETL (extract, transform and load) operation). ViaData has developed a data migration tool which automates and simplifies this process significantly.
• Data profiling - the assessment of the quality of an organisation's data through the use of ViaData's profiling tool.
• Data cleansing - usually carried out after a profiling exercise.
• Data quality assessment - which typically comprises examining:
  • Data availability - does the business have all necessary information at its disposal? Can data be easily accessed?
  • Data relevancy - an adjunct to availability - how pertinent is the data kept by a business? Can it be analysed effectively? How old is the information and how has it been stored?
  • Detailed reporting as to what can be done to achieve an optimum usage of information within a business. [ more - case studies - Learning Solutions, Lechabile ]
