Data Integrity Solutions: Turning Data Into Dollars & Sense

by Cyrus Beroukhim

Overview

A Delusional Technology Syndrome (Chapter 1) has facilitated the manifestation of Digital Data Disorders (Chapter 2) that are impacting our lives in very negative ways and thus driving the need for an Information Integrity Imperative for the twenty first century (Chapter 3). There is a new way forward and a new day to prosper that I will cover in the Road to Recovery (Chapter 4). I hope you will gain insight from reading this book and will share your insights with others. I am also confident we the people will establish the appropriate levels of commitment to ensure the information stored and manipulated in thousands of technology systems, that have a high degree of control over the quality of our lives, represent reality in a truthful and fair way. We have not lost our trust in America, nor our form of government, nor our way of life. Maybe we have lost trust in most corporations and politicians who avoid transparency. However, we have not lost trust in the American people, who created the most innovative nation on the face of the planet. I am certain the American people will meet the challenge of Data Integrity and make our nation and the world an even better place for all the digital citizens living in the digital age.

About the Author

Ken Graham Bio Throughout my career I have witnessed first-hand how data has impacted people’s lives. The right data, at the right time can have very positive impacts on one’s life. Empowering them to make the best decision given any circumstance and as a result improving the quality of their life. However, if the data they have access to lacks integrity the decisions they or someone else can make can be detrimental in many areas of their life. One’s money, their property, their safety, their identity and their mere existence can all be compromised because of poor data integrity. Having witnessed positive and negative events transpire as a result of the data one has access to has created a passion within me to share the importance of managing data integrity with the digital citizens living in today’s digital society. I have been fortunate enough to grow up on a farm and learn what hard work really is. I was exposed to the mass productivity of the industrial age by working for some very large manufacturing companies. And was lucky enough to earn a degree in Computer Science in the dawning of the information age. Given these life experiences and my education I have come to recognize some common trends that I have observed in many companies across many industries that reduces the integrity of data. The quality of life of many individuals and organizations were often negatively impacted as a result of these common trends that I have observed and now want to share with the hope of improving the lives of others.
