Exhibit A. - Integrated IQM Program Structure

Business Intelligence (BI) is still a growing area of interest for most companies, as a result of an incomplete or ineffective BI implementation. Data Warehousing (DW) has been around for quite a while and many companies have data warehouses and numerous data marts, but still need to pursue improved information solutions. And more recently Master Data Management (MDM) has arrived as a new solution for providing improved information management. We believe that you must address BI, DW and MDM in an integrated and holistic manner that focuses on providing quality information.

Our offering will give clients a proven, integrated approach and process for providing and managing information quality. This includes an assessment of information quality and existing capabilities and a process for providing an effective information quality management environment and capabilities.

See Exhibit A for a sample integrated IQM Program Structure.
