Data quality management improvement

Summary form only given. Nowadays, more and more organizations are realizing the importance of their data, because it can be considered as an important asset present in nearly all business organizational processes. The traditional point of view of quality in information systems has been focused on software quality. The basis of our proposal is to consider information as a result of a data management process, which can be supported by the software running in the information system. Our aim is to optimize the data management process (DMP) in order to assure data quality. For this, we have just drawn up a framework based on maturity levels (such as CMMI) with specific and generic data quality goals, which are achieved by executing the corresponding activities.
