“The Unicorn System™ is a comprehensive system for Information Resource Management. Key differentiators include capturing the business semantics of information and supporting a common information model as a hub for controlling data transformation. The new version transcends traditional data management support by actively supporting Information Quality standards and quality assessment data.”

--- Larry P. English, President & Principal of Information Impact International, Inc. and author of Improving Data Warehouse and Business Information Quality

High quality information frequently determines the success or failure of IT projects. Most CEOs have experienced the adverse effects of decisions based on sub-par information, with poor quality information not being accessible in the format or display required.

Wayne Eckerson of The Data Warehousing Institute estimates in his report Data Quality and the Bottom Line: Achieving Business Success through a Commitment to High Quality Data that "current data quality problems cost US businesses more than $600 billion a year."

Poor quality information impacts enterprises horizontally by negating positive growth, slowing scalability, and necessitates an investment of time and energy that would otherwise be unnecessary.

High-quality information ensures that both the business and IT have the basic foundation in place on which to manage and execute their respective tasks. Improved data quality removes ambiguity, allows for the accurate code generation scripts, tracks change, and identifies both overlapping and redundant data resources.
