Why you should read Data Driven

This is a highly readable, thorough, credible guide to the principles of data management. Author Thomas C. Redman covers all the bases, showing readers how to improve data quality, use data to make better decisions and establish management systems that will help nearly any company get the most from its data. Few business subjects have been more abused than data management; a common misconception consigns data management to the IT department. The author shows why the data is, most appropriately, a line rather than a staff responsibility. getAbstract recommends it highly to those whose business may live or die based on the quality of its data management – and that may be your company, whether you realize it yet or not.

Thomas C. Redman is president of Navesink Consulting Group, and a pioneer in extending quality principles to include data and information.
