If your company has gone global and plans to create databases that combine address-related data from all corners of the world, you will need to understand how to deal with global data. Managing global information effectively takes specialist knowledge and the ability to show consideration for the differences that exist throughout the world. Worldwide there are 239 countries, more than 10,000 languages, 130 address formats, 36 personal and hundreds of business name formats. All of these variables are further complicated by the need to respect national and regional cultures. Failure to consider formats, styles, and cultures has huge impact on quality of data and quality of business relationships.

This online training course is aimed at data quality and master data management (MDM) professionals as well as those responsible to work with global information.
