Data as your basis
Your systems are never better than your data. Since data are a bit like the bricks of your house. If they aren't strong, stable and properly structured, everything will fall into ruins. That's why data quality and a solid data structure form the basis of all your Finance IT initiatives and projects. Whether you intend to automate heavy, manual processes or implement a new ERP system.
This is expressed by the old, well-known idiom "crap in – crap out”. And there is a simple reason for this: Namely that the idiom contains much truth. Because you'll get nothing but a poor - and in worst case useless end-product if the data that you feed into your systems are incorrect or incomplete.
But luckily, you can do a lot to create quality data.
