Data Quality Shield^SM

Data Quality Shield is

• an integrated set of standardized routines
• optimized for every external data source and
• comprised from pre-load data filters and translators,
• along with post-load data analysis tools,
• statistical diagnostics and quality alarms.

This type of integration addresses 2 specific distinctions of the loss data:

• multiple external sources of data (TPA's) and
• the time-variant nature of intended applications.

The purpose of a Data Quality Shield is to:

• Standardize data, (discovering and enforcing business rules, including time-variant business rules),
• Validate Input (checking that data values satisfy data definitions),
• Eliminate redundant data,
• Resolve data conflicts (determining which piece of redundant, but not matching data is the correct one)
• Propagate corrections and adjustments to prior evaluation for the time-variant data.
