Ixsight Technologies drives International DQ efforts through partnership with IAIDQ


Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Friday, November 04, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- Mumbai-based Ixsight Technologies Pvt Ltd ( Ixsight) became the first company in India to partner with the International Association for Information and Data Quality ( IAIDQ) Together, Ixsight and IAIDQ aim to promote best practices in information quality and data governance for the India and South Asia region.

IAIDQ is the leading source of credible and unbiased best practices on how to improve information and data quality to deliver great business results. IAIDQ offers many products and services to its members, and recently reached a milestone in advancing the information and data quality profession. Earlier this year, IAIDQ launched a comprehensive certification exam (IQCP) that benchmarks knowledge of information and data quality professionals across all skill domains. This comes after many years of research and collaboration with experts from around the globe.

Ixsight was established in 2007 on the belief that successful business growth and profitability requires good data quality. Over the years, Ixsight has partnered with many clients in the financial and telecom industries to enhance strategic and tactical decision-making through innovative data quality solutions. "Iksh" in Sanskrit means to see or know. Iksh+Sight = Ixsight! Through its software products and services, Ixsight has evolved from just fixing data quality issues to helping companies to use their data properly to gain significant insights about the market or their client needs," says Ms Uma Venkataraman, CEO and co-founder of Ixsight.

Through its strategic partnership with IAIDQ, Ixsight is leading the way for other companies and professionals in India and South-East Asia by espousing the cause of information quality

"We are excited by this partnership with Ixsight, and to have the opportunity to grow the information and data quality community in this region of the world." says IAIDQ President, Mr. Christian Walenta.

The announcement of the partnership was made on August 15th, 2011, at an event in San Francisco, USA. Here, Mr. Piyush Malik (IAIDQ Director of Partner Relations) announced that "Ixsight has become IAIDQ's first partner in India and neighboring region, and this relationship will help expand mutual opportunities for the information quality and data governance profession. With rapid business growth in India in recent years, it is encouraging to see that data professionals in India are embracing the principles of information and data quality!"

Mr D B (Sunil) Modak, Chairman Ixsight added, "There is increasing importance being given to procuring and retaining the right talent and skill sets. Promoting an industry standard vendor-neutral certification exam like the IQCP is the right thing to do for us as well as for other corporations that are serious about improving the quality of their organizational data and hence decisions based thereon. We see IAIDQ as a very important partner to us in furthering our joint mission of creating a Data and Information Quality culture in enterprises of the future, and IQCP as a strategic initiative for the Information Quality field across all industry verticals."

Ixsight's partnership with IAIDQ will enable networks of information and data quality professionals within India to join efforts and learn from one another, as well as connect with such professionals elsewhere in the world. Ixsight already has plans to organize an information and data quality event in the coming year.
