"It's a good initiative and the course is complete and agnostic so the technology or solutions are not a problem."
"We had no concept of the level of faults in our data, until we took the iData quality training course which allowed us to quickly and efficiently un-earth and, crucially, resolve 10s of 1000s of data errors which probably would not have been discovered in our data governance framework without the training!"
