The Value of Data Profiling to BI
July 21, 2006
A key function of data profiling is continuous monitoring and the ability to generate trend reports. Trend reports graphically show how data quality is either progressing or regressing over time, through specific measurements. In parallel, BI operations are often run repetitively, on a regular schedule, with the results of the analysis published automatically. But what happens when an extraneous event causes the quality of the underlying data to degrade? How will the BI analyst know this? More importantly, when will the analyst know this, before or after the next iteration of BI reports is released?
