The linked article below contrasts Pirsig's 1974 motorcycle masterpiece with the insightful DQ guidance of the National Bank of Belgium (nbb_2017_27).
And it would be remiss not to explain how Data Controller for SAS® provides 3 layers of data quality defence (for those who Care):
Frontend Defence - select boxes, type checking, date pickers, validation rules, key protection. Prevents simple mistakes.
Backend Defence - run a SAS program following a submit to apply complex DQ rules, enabling immediate rejection with contextual reasoning. Prevents any mistake for which a rule can be written.
Human Defence - changes reviewed by one or more approvers before the target table is updated. The final line of defence against the stress of poor data quality.
To complete your data-zen experience - Data Controller can be downloaded, deployed AND configured in just a few minutes.
It runs on Viya, SAS 9 EBI, and vanilla Base SAS.
