Data are of high quality "if they are fit for their intended uses in operations, decision making and planning" (J. M. Juran). Alternatively, the data are deemed of high quality if they correctly represent the real-world construct to which they refer. Furthermore, apart from these definitions, as data volume increases, the question of internal consistency within data becomes paramount, regardless of fitness for use for any external purpose, e.g. a person's age and birth date may conflict within different parts of a database.

Abstract Today most organizations run their daily operations using data at their disposal. However, a vast majority of the organizations do not have adequate process and tools to maintain high quality operational data at all times. One of the key reasons for this is the lack of appreciation of the damages that low quality data can bring to an organization, and the cost of ensuring high quality of data. This article provides a basis for quantifying in monetary terms the costs of both low quality data and ensuring high quality data. To provide a basis for understanding the costs of both low quality data and ensuring high quality data, we need to understand the types of data that organizations use in running their daily operations. “Front-office” data Front-office data is data that is used in running primary daily operations of an organization; for example, customer account data in a bank to support daily debit-credit transactions.
