Separating the Good from the Bad in the World of Big Data by Karen Peters via @infomgmt

As our world becomes more connected and the amount of data that is available increases, companies must make sure they are developing their own processes for collecting the best data.

Whilst this may read as cleaning data and only taking good data I would like to suggest a caution - you need integrity between your reporting and source so you cannot modify or delete data from your reporting or analytics as it will be incorrect. You have to develop a strategy to handle incorrect data as well as doing more to make sure the data is correct in the first place.   This also reminds me of the problems with reporting from a Data Warehouse and so in this aspect I don't believe that what we do with Big Data will be so different from this standpoint.
