How an Organisation Could Improve the Quality of its
Business Information.
Valid.
When a company is working on a project it is important that the information that is being used is
valid. All information that is collected should be checked and compared to several different sources
to ensure that the information used is correct. Information can be sent through the operational
support system (OSS) and business support system (BSS) which will check that it is valid for its
purpose. A good example of validation is when a college takes in personal details before they submit
them they will have the students look over them to make sure that the details are correct.
Types of Data/Information.
Different types of data will influence the quality of information and how accurate it is. It is important
for any organisation to make sure that they choose the right type of information as they will want
the data to be valid and reliable. A company will have to make sure they chose the right type of data
that will corresponds with the need of the work that is being done. Qualitative or quantitative
information is normally the first part of information that will be decided on. Next the company
would need to decide whether they wanted to get their information from a primary or seconder
source. Normally a company will use quantitative and primary information as these will give the
most accurate result as it uses numerical data that will be collected by the company which will best
fit their purpose. For example, if a college creates a survey/questionnaire and only use one or the
wrong type of information then the question wouldn’t come back with good quality of information
however if they use the correct type of information then they will be able to get the best results.
Purpose.
For information to be of good quality and reliable then it needs to be relatable to its purpose. By
have a specific purpose for collecting information it will make it easier to gather correct information
that will benefit whatever project it is being used for. By an organisation knowing the purpose of the
information it will allow them to make the correct decision when picking the method and type of
data which will insure the best results.
Source.
Another way for an organisation to improve the quality of their information is to decide where they
get their information from. Almost all data that is collected from a primary source will most likely be
valid and accurate but would need to be analyses. An organisation is also able to get good quality
information from secondary information; however, the organisation will need to be careful that they
get the information from a reliable source and must make sure it is up-to-date.
If an organisation get information from a source that did not have valid information then anything
that the information was used for would get badly affected. For example, if a college got the medical
conditions from a secondary source (family member) and was given incorrect information then this
could be a serious affect if anything where to happen to the student.
