Data Quality & Data Governance with Qlik Talend

A single source of enriched, trusted data to meet compliance with data protection regulations

Organisations rely on data to function effectively. However, they face a number of challenges, including fragmented data sources, incomplete and inaccurate data, limited resources, and complex needs and pressures to meet internal standards and external regulatory requirements.

Every organisation is looking for a way to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. Boosting operational efficiency and agility requires accurate, reliable data and streamlined data access without any friction.

It is also essential to maintain regulatory compliance without compromise, which requires advanced data security and compliance controls.

To improve decision-making and competitiveness, it is vital to establish and maintain data quality and governance practices throughout the organisation. This can be effectively achieved through the implementation of a 360-degree, pervasive data quality and governance platform.

Finally, to promote organisational transparency and trust, it is crucial to create an environment where data quality and governance is a team sport.

This process of establishing data excellence requires a combination of data quality and data governance. Initially, an organisation may start with data quality tools and add data governance tools as the business matures.

Data quality and governance is not a one-off exercise, but an ongoing process - self-service capabilities are also needed to ensure that everyone in the organisation can participate in the data quality and governance process. Of course, stewardship activities will play an important role in establishing data excellence throughout the initiative.

Talend brings data integration, integrity, and governance together in a single modular platform, supported by a strong partner ecosystem and services infrastructure — Talend Data Fabric.

Talend Data Fabric a suite of connected applications that can be scaled to any need and any team’s size and complexity. It is security-focused, connects with most data sources, formats, and types of data, on-premises or in the cloud. It supports all kinds of processing models, including cloud, hybrid, and edge computing. It's open source, flexible, and future-proof. Finally, Talend is cloud-first platform. This is all delivered in a managed platform. Talend also supports remote processing.

Data Quality capabilities

As an integral component of Talend Data Fabric, Data Quality profiles, cleanses, and masks data in real time. The use of machine learning enables the generation of recommendations for the resolution of data quality issues as data flows through your systems. The user-friendly self-service interface is equally accessible to both business and technical users, fostering collaboration across the entire company.

Talend Data Quality products include:

Talend Cloud Data Inventory

Data profiling: enables the rapid identification of data quality issues, the discovery of hidden patterns, and the detection of anomalies through the use of summary statistics and graphical representations.

Cleaning: Talend employs machine learning to automatically cleanse incoming data, performing deduplication, validation, and standardisation.

Talend Trust Score: the built-in Talend Trust Score provides an immediate, explainable, and actionable assessment of confidence, enabling you to identify which datasets require additional data cleansing and which can be shared safely.

Enriching: Talend can enrich data by joining it with details from external sources such as postal validation codes or business identification.

Enabling security: Given the significant costs associated with a data breach, Talend enables users to share data with trusted individuals on-premises or in the cloud, while maintaining the confidentiality of personally identifiable information (PII).

Masking: Data Quality safeguards sensitive data with built-in masking, ensuring compliance with internal and external data privacy and data protection regulations.

Data Governance capabilities

Inadequate or poorly managed data can impair business decision-making and the development of effective digital experiences. Talend provides a unified platform to help fight data chaos. It enables users to discover, federate, share, and automate critical data quality tasks, freeing up time for more business-critical tasks.

In order for data to be useful, it must be clean, compliant, and accessible. Therefore, data integrity and governance are essential capabilities of the Talend Data Fabric platform. Automated quality checks and browser-based, point-and-click tools enable business users to share and capture legacy knowledge, enhancing the trustworthiness of the data.

No matter if you're modernising your cloud data infrastructure, ensuring regulatory compliance or developing your internal data marketplace, Talend Data Fabric can support you in achieving your goals.
