Rosetree's Root Cause Assessment and Organic Improvement Strategy
Tackle fundamental data challenges head-on, paving the way for sustainable, natural enhancements in data integrity and value.
Many organizations struggle with poor data quality in their CRM systems, often resorting to one-time cleanup projects that provide only temporary relief. This article introduces Rosetree's comprehensive assessment and strategy offering, designed to identify and address the root causes of data issues, ensuring long-term, organic improvements in data quality.
THE DATA QUALITY DILEMMA
While bad data is often seen as the problem, it's merely a symptom of underlying process and user behavior issues. Many companies fail to recognize that sustainable data quality improvement requires addressing these root causes rather than simply cleaning up existing data.
ROOT CAUSES OF DATA QUALITY ISSUES
1. CREATE-BEFORE-SEARCH BEHAVIOR
- Users creating new records without first searching for existing ones
- Result: Duplicate records and fragmented customer information
2. OFF-SYSTEM COMMUNICATION
- Employees using external email clients instead of CRM for customer communication
- Result: Incomplete interaction history and missed opportunities
3. EXTERNAL QUOTING PROCESSES
- Sales teams creating quotes outside the CRM system
- Result: Inaccurate or missing purchase history and unreliable sales forecasts
4. INCONSISTENT DATA ENTRY STANDARDS
- Lack of standardized processes for entering and updating customer information
- Result: Inconsistent and unreliable customer data across the organization
5. INSUFFICIENT DATA VALIDATION
- Weak or non-existent data validation rules in the CRM
- Result: Incorrect or incomplete data entered into the system
