"This book is a must for any data professional, regardless of industry. Brian has provided a definitive guide on how to best ensure that data processes - from sourcing and ingestion, to firmwide utilization - are properly monitored, measured and controlled. The insights that he illustrates are born out of a long history of working with content and enabling financial professionals to perform their jobs. The principles presented herein are applicable to any organization that needs to build proper and efficient data governance and data management. Finally, here is a tool that can help everyone from Chief Data Officers to data engineers in the performance of their roles."
-- Barry S. Raskin, Head of Data Practice, Relevate Data Monetization Corp.
"Brian Buzzelli presents a clear how-to guide for the finance professional to motivate, design, and implement a comprehensive data quality framework. Even in early stages, the data quality program will improve efficiency, reduce risk, and build trust with clients and across functions. Brian demonstrates the connection between data integrity and fiduciary obligation with relevant examples. Borrowing unabashedly from concepts in high precision manufacturing, Brian provides a step-by-step plan to engineer an enterprise level data quality program with solutions designed for specific functions. The code examples are especially applicable, providing the reader with a set of practical tools. I believe these concepts are an important contribution to the field."
-- Matthew Lyberg, CFA, Quantitative Researcher, NDVR Inc.
"This book is an essential reading not only for the data management specialists but for anyone who works with and relies on data. Brian Buzzelli harnesses his many years of practical, "been there, done that, have scars to prove it" experience to teach the reader how to apply manufacturing quality control principles to "find a needle in a haystack" - that one erroneous attribute that will have an outside impact."
-- Julia Bardmesser, SVP, Head of Data, Architecture and Salesforce Development, Voya Financial
"This is the perfect playbook that, if implemented, will allow any financial services company to put their data on an offensive footing to drive alpha and insights without sacrificing quality, governance, or compliance."
-- Michael McCarthy, Principal Investment Data Architect, Investment Data Management Office, MFS
"The approach to data quality expressed in this book is based on an original idea of using quality and standardization principles applied from manufacturing. It provides insights into a pragmatic and tested data quality framework that will be useful to any data practitioner."
