Certify Software: The Core of Data Certification
Data Certification

Certify™ plays a central role in an organization’s ability to achieve measurable, sustained, certified data quality improvements. The software allows an organization to describe the standard of optimum quality for its data, and then measure actual data against that standard on a recurring basis.

Using Certify as the locus for an application-specific or enterprise-wide data certification program gives organizations the ability to discover problems, prioritize improvements, monitor accountability and demonstrate progress over time.

Data certification can provide operational and economic advantages when applied to a range of data sources and databases, including: external data feeds; data warehouses and repositories; data used for regulatory reporting; analytic data; and business applications.

Certica Solutions emphasizes four main tenets of data quality certification, to promote data’s validity and consistency:

1.	Validate incoming data at the point closest to its origin, before it is transmitted, or at least before it has had a chance to migrate to critical data stores;
2.	Validate data quality at the table and column level, before it is consolidated, aggregated or transformed;
3.	Use a systematic and objective approach to verify adherence to data standards and business rules; and
4.	Make data quality certification an ongoing, repeatable process wherein trends in improvement can be observed and reported over time.
