The Dirty Secret of Data Quality with Roddy Knowles

Welcome back to Intellicast! We are back with a great episode. Joining Brian Peterson and Matthew Alexander to talk data quality is the COO of dtect, and friend of the podcast, Roddy Knowles. Kicking off the episode, Brian and Matthew catch up with Roddy on what he has been up to since the last time he was on the podcast, including what led him to move over to dtect, a new data quality platform. After getting the low down on dtect and learning what they are all about, the guys turned the conversation to data quality in the industry. As an industry, we have been talking about data quality for some time now. Roddy gives his thoughts about the industry's strides in tackling data quality issues and what hasn't been done well. Next, the guys turn their attention to the discussion of bots and how it seems to be a significant focus when people talk about data quality. Roddy gives some great insight into how bots make up a small fraction of overall data quality issues and how they are just a subset of the larger fraud issue. After going down a couple of rabbit holes, Brian asks Roddy where he sees data quality in the industry going over the next few years. Roddy doesn't disappoint. He talks about how if we don't properly address data quality issues, it could lead to the end of quantitative research as we currently know it. This is a great conversation you don't want to miss!
