Data quality is an important issue to address when software-as-a-service solutions are being implemented at a business.

According to an article on the Processor website, software-as-a-service offerings are highly sought after by companies thanks to their ability to quickly deploy business applications.

But data integration work needs to be conducted carefully for software-as-a-service work to be a success, it was suggested.

Among the potential problems are data migration, replication and synchronisation, as well as data quality.

He stated this is because it can serve "as a solid foundation for business success" and can therefore be a "very powerful" tool for an organisation to have.
