Service Spotlight: Data Quality with Informatica
Good decisions start with good data. ODGA uses Informatica, a leading data quality tool, to help agencies make sure their data is accurate, consistent, and ready to use. With this tool, we can identify and fix errors, remove duplicates, standardize formats (like names, addresses, and dates), and even enrich records with missing details. This ensures agencies have clean, trustworthy data that supports daily operations, public reporting, and big-picture analytics.
Commonwealth of Virginia Employees can learn more about Informatica and view a demo here.
