How do you convince someone that they need your service or product, when they have no real idea of what it is you’re offering or what it is your product/service can do for them?  That’s quite often the biggest challenge for “Data Management” companies.

Data Management is a broad term, which encompasses the general concepts around how data is handled.  This is from creation, through to the final use of the data.  During the life cycle of a lead/prospect/customer, multiple events occur which impact the data present and the subsequent quality of the information at hand.  Positive interactions, are those when you have direct contact with the lead, and are able to update/enhance the record in question.  Yet even these so called “positive” interactions, can create a management overhead if not done properly.  No interaction, is certainly a negative, and will lead to your data becoming stale and unproductive.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to rules;

• Do you have them?
• Are you able to enforce them?
• Are your staff aware of them?
• Are the constraints within the GUI?

If you answered “No”, to any of the above, then you’re in need of some sort of “Data Management”.  Your needs could be as simple as normalising your data or  maybe you need to validate what has been done, or perhaps the effort that has been done has now created duplicates within your system.  It doesn’t matter what needs to be done, The Data Company can help.

Where’s the value?  or, How do I justify the cost?  There are a number of ways to look at this;

• Reduction in effort, due to no duplicates
• Greater performance from marketing campaigns, due to your increased ability for contact
• Reduced costs from wastage, such as Return to Sender (RTS)
