This course teaches how to build QualityStage parallel jobs that investigate, standardize, match, and consolidate data records. This course covers common data quality issues, QualityStage architecture, QualityStage clients and their functions, importing metadata, running jobs and reviewing results, building Investigate jobs, the Standardize stage and rule sets, identifying matching records and applying multiple Match passes, building a Survive job, and using a Two-Source match.
Students will gain experience by building an application that combines customer data from three source systems into a single master customer record.
