"If your data isn't right, AI will deliver sub-optimal results. That’s why one of our goals is to make our data AI-ready." - Ian Peters, Divisional Director of Group Data Management, St. James’s Place.

They wanted to understand the why and where of conclusions generated by AI, and how to best leverage it. Understanding the integral role that data lineage and data quality play in achieving this, they turned to erwin Data Intelligence by Quest. Now, they are not only more efficient with automated documentation of their data and faster time to issue resolution, but in a prime position to deliver AI-ready data.
