Your Virtual Data Integrity Analyst
DCI was created by its founders following many years of experience working with the challenges faced by regulated firms.
From the outset, our focus has been on data as this is typically the source of many challenges faced by financial services firms. We understand your business and the problems you encounter resulting from working with legacy architecture; and the resultant poor data quality.
Our approach has been to create a software solution that identifies bad data as soon as it occurs and before it can have a material impact.
