Asset Management Conference highlights data accuracy!

Thanks to all of those people that took the time to talk to us at the 12th Annual Local Government Asset Management Conference in Auckland. We enjoyed meeting some new people and connecting with familiar faces. A couple of the papers delivered at the conference resonated with the Adapt approach for getting data correct. We’ve found on projects that data is often viewed in better light by the data custodian than what is actually true. We’ve often peeled back the onion to find that during a datasets life it has usually been maintained in various ways. Data that is important one year is collected consistently and then the focus changes and variations in the data surface. Not many people are systematically tagging their datasets with accuracy levels. When data does form the basis for underlying business decisions why isn’t accuracy a mandatory tag which is applied systematically by rules?

Considerable effort goes into delivering a new record to a table in the database (human effort / system effort). One of the key drivers behind the Adapt architecture is to ensure that when the record is committed it has first past the rules that define it – the rules that make that data complete such that accuracy can be attained. Adapt achieves this with its communication layer which sits above the database. Adapts user interface talks to this layer or any other system integrating to Adapt or delivering data to the database. One gateway and one set of rules for delivering data to the database. Often in organisations data is passed to a database in varying ways. This approach compromises the completeness and accuracy of the data.

See you at the next conference!
