In our organization, we implemened some routines including, attribute analysis, monitor last update date of tables, monitor null values, monitor SSIS packes and jobs. And we created a power bi dashboard to monitor and track all this outpus.

While i would implement strategies to standardise data formats, measure data quality; i would also want to implement defence at border. Meaning; the inconsistencies that we capture while measuring data quality (exceptions) will be forced back to source systems with an automated workflow, and track for fix to re-ingest. This is the best way to fix the DQ issues and increase the confidence or trust on data. Avoid fixing DQ issues at a consumer level as it will introduce inconsistent versions of data when consumed from different systems.

Perform attribute analysis while analyzing the data values of each attribute concerning uniqueness, distribution, completeness Replace missing/null values, rectify incorrect ones,convert data sets into a common format Conduct data cleansing, deduplication to identify and remove duplicates The option,"Append Rows" is used when data is present in different databases Append Columns is a suitable approach when a company wants to add new elements to its existing data set In case of incomplete or missing records that need filling by looking up values from another database, follow "Conditional Merge" Conduct a final audit of data once the merging process is complete Challenges of data merging: Data complexity Scalability Duplication

To merge data from multiple sources, especially within a common domain like loan repayment data—a frequent scenario in data research firms—we start by defining a Common Standard Format (CSF). The CSF includes a list of attributes, specifying mandatory and optional fields, along with domain values for each attribute. Once the CSF is defined, all data source feeds are prepared to align with the CSF structure. Common validation and cleansing rules are established as reusable content, with additional data source-specific validations developed as needed. By implementing a CSF-based approach, we can ensure data consistency across multiple sources and as well reduce the time required to onboard and integrate new data sources
