Abstract
Data quality is a significant concern in today’s world. The majority of organ-
izations are being challenged by the data quality issues both in the structural
and systematic context. Bad data quality is still being experienced even though
expensive tools have been innovated and incorporated into the data quality
control practices. Common measures of data quality metrics are accuracy,
completeness, proper dissemination, integrity, validity, uniqueness, and con-
sistency. For this reason, intense analysis and evaluation of the most applica-
ble ways in managing data quality can serve as a roadmap that can be utilized
by the company’s executive team, practitioners and even learners in formu-
lating efficient planning as well as implementing feasible data and infor-
mation quality control and management programs. This paper is based on
intensive research and the use of practical examples and will seek the evalua-
tion of the challenges faced in data quality management. The paper will also
provide an analysis of data quality management from the local and global
context by giving critical inspection trends to improve the data quality, the
tools, techniques, and the policies that are necessary for achieving the data
quality management goal. By using the Civil Project Division (CPD) in Abu
Dhabi National oil company (ADNOC) and Dubai Health Insurance Corpo-
ration in Dubai Health Authority (DHA) as the real-world examples, the pa-
per will give a critical viewpoint of the challenges, trends, policies, and tech-
niques that apply to data quality management.
