Adaptation of Information Quality and Assurance Management Paradigm in a Strategic Public Sector Organization

Abstract

Information quality despite being a critical area in organizations lacks in comprehensive methodologies for its adaptation and improvement even after years of active research and practice. Therefore adaptation of information quality while ensuring information assurance has become a major concern for strategic organizations to upgrade their IT (Information Technology) Assets. The issue exists specifically in organizations with integrated access to distributed data. In this article, a new model is proposed that is derived after addressing issues in already existing information quality and information assurance adaptation models, showing the methodology and its advantages for strategic organizations. However, this model has to be adapted to the requirements and needs of an organization; since it is a reference model. The steps and procedures are identified in quality and assurance adaptation model to bring abstract standard into practice.
