experience an accumulation of data quality issues, which affect
them across the entire spectrum of their operations. Each individual
data quality problem is dismissed as an 'ankle pecking' nuisance.
But aggregated across all operations, persistent data quality
issues 'choke the air' out of a company - stifling responsiveness,
draining customer satisfaction and impairing profitability."

Server follows the firm's recent announcements regarding the formation
of a Data Quality practice area, as well as the release of a Data
Integration Solution which is built on IBM technology.

If you have this knowledge, you can make a portal “fit like a glove” for your company. Ron has unique cross-industry expertise in optimizing business processes and enterprise application integration. This expertise, combined with his certification in IBM WebSphere Portal, make him a great addition to our consulting group.”
