Take 2
Most other approaches to data cleansing assume all the data is good, and look for bad items to be modified or purged. With this type of approach, hidden errors and unwanted data is still left behind where it can continue to cause problems.
Our approach starts by assuming all the data in your VISUAL database is bad. Then the good data is identified and those elements are lifted out and pumped over to a new, empty database. This is what we call the "bowling pin approach" - we pick up the known good pins and sweep away everything else. This approach has the highest probability that the new database will not be tainted with unwanted, erroneous, or otherwise bad data. It is the same as starting with a brand new database, but then importing the historical data you want to preserve.
The Virant Group has been rebuilding customer databases using this approach for years. We have developed the tools and procedures allowing us to offer this highly labor intensive service as a standard, cost effective guided solution that does not require on-site consultations or visits. We call it Take 2.
