(Bank CFO) “I don’t have confidence and trust in our data. We keep discovering hidden risks”. Since 70% of data initiatives fail due to unreliable data (Gartner research), are you risking your reputation by trusting the accuracy of your data that you share with your business stakeholders and partners? Data Trust Scores must be measured in Data Lakes, warehouses, and throughout the pipeline, to ensure the data is trustworthy and fit for use. It typically takes 4-6 weeks of manual effort just to set a file or table for validation. Then, the rules have to be constantly updated as the data evolves. The only scalable option is to automate data validation rules discovery and rules maintenance. DataBuck is an autonomous, self-learning, Data Observability, Quality, Trustability and Data Matching tool. It reduces effort by 90% and errors by 70%. "What took my team of 10 Engineers 2 years to do, DataBuck could complete it in less than 8 hours." (VP, Enterprise Data Office, a US bank)
