An Architecture for Data Quality - Kimball Group Consulting
In this white paper, we propose a comprehensive architecture for capturing quality data events, as well as measuring and ultimately controlling data quality in the data warehouse. This scalable architecture can be added to existing data warehouse and data integration environments with minimal impact and relatively little upfront investment. Using this architecture, it is even possible to progress systematically towards a Six Sigma level of quality management. This design is in response to the current lack of published, coherent architecture for addressing data quality issues..

Informatica - Accelerating ROI with SAP Software through Success ful Data Migration
A Mission-Critical Approach to Data Migration
The on-time migration and consolidation of existing corporate data from legacy applications to SAP® software is critical in achieving the fastest ROI. Toward that end, SAP and Informatica have partnered to provide a seamless data migration strategy to ensure that you derive maximum business benefit from your investment in SAP software.
Companies frequently assume that data migration and consolidation is a one-time effort. The reality is that nearly all enterprise applications are implemented and deployed in a phased approach – by country, by plant, or by lines of business, for example – that often represents a complex, time-consuming undertaking. While critical to the overall success of the project, data migration considerations frequently are not addressed until too late.
