Get Better Master Data Quality With Less Manual Effort!
In our data-driven world, information grows and changes too fast for anyone. How can you maintain Data Quality when 90% of all data was created in the last two years? We believe: Sharing is the best way to better business partner data.
Why invent your own Data Quality Rules while others already share their best practices? Why try to complete your data records only with inhouse resources when dozens of public Reference Data sources are available for matching? Why validate critical information on your own when your peers offer their help?
Shared quality rules, shared data sources and shared peer-validated records are three steps that allow you to approach data quality problems together with others, more effectively and with far less manual effort - because a problem shared is a problem halved!

Data Sharing: Our Market
Best Master Data by Combining Public Sources and Shared Records
Data Governance and data quality are the top priorities in data management, both today and in the future according to Gartner Research. Data quality and data brokerage markets total more than $15bn in volume, growing by more than 10% per year. Gartner identifies two types of providers currently serving the data quality market: data quality tools and B2B data brokers.
CDQ combines both categories – our communities share their Data Quality Rules with each other, thus continuously improving the quality tools you can deploy against your own data. On top, we offer the best master data in the market by combining public sources and shared records that your peers publish within our Data Sharing Community. You can use these golden records to enrich the data you have in your systems.

Cloud-Based Software Platform and API integration for Better Master Data Quality
Data quality improvement needs to be a continuous effort for best results with lowest efforts. That's why we introduced Data Quality as a Service (DQaaS) - a cloud platform that hosts a mirror of your internal master data, which is continuously scanned for errors and updates. We find duplicates, we cleanse address data, we validate tax numbers, we suggest new information as it becomes available.
At work for you: More than 1,700 data quality rules, over 135 million records from more than 80 trustworthy open data sources world-wide, and data from several premium databases - all combined in one cloud-based software platform.
How do you access these capabilities? We offer two options: through a web-based user interface, or through APIs directly from within your ERP or CRM systems.

The web interface of our software platform provides you with a one-stop access point for different quality tools, including analyses and clean-up operations.

Don't waste time collecting right information: Our Business Partner Lookup gives you instant results from various official open company registers and paid sources like D&B.
