Poor data quality disrupts operations for 84% of large organizations, resulting in higher costs and persistent challenges, including delays, compliance issues, and outdated customer information.

Key takeaways

  • Bad data is widespread: The vast majority of organizations experience avoidable disruptions, cost, and risk due to poor data quality.

  • Verification is critical: Real-time, automated checks—such as email and address verification—help reduce risks and speed onboarding.

  • Compliance and accuracy dominate: Outdated contacts, regulatory demands, and incomplete profiles are consistently cited as top data challenges.
