...Borough of Brent were siloed across 12 different databases, one for each of the council’s functional divisions. Every division had its own separate copy of resident data, and each one was incomplete or incorrect in some way. The council’s two separate customer relationship management systems also had different resident data sets, each with its own particular faults and omissions. This situation meant that while one department might know that a resident was blind, and therefore required special services, the others might still treat them like any other. It also made the council’s clerical processes inefficient, as employees would spend much of their time calling other departments to find out supplementary information. The council’s solution was to build the Brent Client Index, a system that aggregates the 1.5 million customer records held in the council’s 12 data silos to create a central, ‘virtual’ registry. Deployed in 2008, the Index is based on master data management technology from Initiate, a US-based vendor that was acquired by IBM last year. It works by statistically analysing the contents of multiple databases, resolving conflicts by comparing data from the same field across multiple datasets. This master data can be accessed directly, or it can then fed back into business systems such as CRM applications. The Index has proved a hit with users. ““When we started out, we envisaged about 30 users of the systems,” says Raj Seedher, Brent’s Information Governance Manager...

...services are not free of charge. Amazon charges 15 cents per gigabyte per month for businesses to use the S3 service. For 10 cents per hour for one basic server, Amazon provides the EC2 to rent out processing power (Rainer, Turban, 2009). “The Mechanical Turk combines processing power with networks of real people who are paid to do the kind of work that machines cannot do” (Rainer, Turban, 2009) (Ch.1, p. 26). Companies use the Mechanical Turk to post pieces of work, and then Amazon receives 10 percent of the commissions from this service. Managing data can sometimes be a difficult task to do. Even for a manager of a large business, or an employee for a small business managing information can become an issue. When companies are using data management, issues can arise.
