Data Quality

Integrating & Enhancing Quality Data for Business Insight

You need good, qualified information to make sound business decisions. OneSource integrates data from many sources into one easy-to-use, quality-driven information service to help you make better decisions.

OneSource performs detailed data checks to assure the quality of the dynamic data we provide to our clients. Data quality is monitored and measured throughout an ongoing quality process using a hybrid approach including both automated and human analyses. The process focuses on:

• Accuracy
  All information sources are not equal and data error rates vary from source to source. For this reason, OneSource initiates a content optimization process designed to maximize the quality, value and readiness of the information from multiple content partners.
• Timeliness
  Timeliness is the degree to which the recorded data is up-to-date for that type of content. Different types of information have inherently different levels of timeliness. A good information source updates as frequently as each type of content allows. OneSource monitors the world-wide business news stream, extracting breaking news and updating information immediately based on real-time events.
• Completeness
  At OneSource, we measure completeness-to-purpose, because business professionals are really only concerned with the completeness of the information they need. OneSource specializes in making sure each type of data we provide, whether its public company financial information or private company executive contacts, is as complete as possible for that kind of data.
• Relevance
  Finding all information is not as useful as finding all pertinent information. OneSource reviews all of the data we use to make sure it is useful for the business decisions our customers make every day.
• Linkage
  OneSource links company, industry, geography, people and business topic data together using our proprietary KeyID system, making the information available a more complete and useful tool for business intelligence.
