DataFlux was founded in 1997 and acquired by SAS in 2000. They have grown quickly and recently were named the leader in the 2008 Gartner Data Quality Magic Quadrant this report ranks companies by ability to execute and completeness of vision DataFlux beat out Business Objects, IBM, Trillium and Informatica and others in the space on both criteria. They are finding traction to risk mitigation, revenue optimization and cost control areas of the enterprise.

We spent time today reviewing DataFlux's Data Governance Maturity Model the methodology/roadmap organizations should follow to attain the highest levels of governance and quality of data. Typically companies move from undisciplined to reactive to proactive and governed the DataFlux solution has features and tools that help customer move forward throughout the process step by step. This end to end solution positions DataFlux as the platform for long term strategy around your governance strategy.

Data Governance Maturity Model
I think the most impressive part of today's briefing is how well DataFlux understands the various steps and challenges companies must overcome to archive the highest level of execution. This may sound simple or even expected but its not the case with many vendors. The ability to understand what your client is going through and predefining strategies and guiding them along the way isn't a skill that everyone in the market has. Its especially important in the world of CDI/MDM/Governance where politics and company culture effect the outcome. As we review the features of the DataFlux platform its clear why they are leading the pack in Data Quality.
