Quick answer

Digital Adaption helps SMEs identify and fix data-quality problems before they damage reporting, ERP or CRM migration, Power BI, workflow automation or management decisions.

Most data-quality problems keep returning because nobody owns the field, report definition or source-system rule. The work is not only finding bad records. It is creating a practical cleanup backlog, assigning owners and putting checks in place so the same defects do not keep coming back.

When data quality becomes a business problem

A data-quality review is useful when poor records are slowing decisions, blocking migration or making reports impossible to trust.

Before reporting

Power BI and management reports will not solve conflicting definitions, bad source fields or spreadsheet logic that only one person understands.

Before migration

ERP, CRM and finance-system migrations need source data that can be mapped, cleansed, validated and signed off before cutover.

Before automation

Power Automate workflows and approval routes fail when the underlying fields, statuses, owners or exception rules are unclear.

What gets delivered

The aim is a working evidence pack, not a theoretical data-governance document.

Methodology

The review uses source-system exports, report outputs, sample records, spreadsheet dependencies, user interviews and control totals to separate symptoms from root causes. The evidence links each data issue to a business impact: delayed month-end, failed migration testing, unreliable forecasts, manual rework or poor automation decisions.

Map the source

Identify where customer, supplier, product, finance and operational data starts, where it changes, and which reports depend on it.

Measure defects

Check duplicates, blanks, invalid values, inactive records, code conflicts, naming variation and broken report assumptions.

Control recurrence

Define owners, rules, validations and review points so the cleanup does not disappear as soon as the next project starts.

FAQs

Is this the same as data governance?

It is the practical part of governance: finding defects, assigning owners, agreeing rules and putting checks in place where the business actually uses the data.

Can this start from spreadsheets?

Yes. Many SME data-quality reviews start from Excel, CSV exports, Access databases, finance reports, CRM lists and ERP extracts.

How long does a first review take?

A focused first review usually takes 5-10 working days depending on the number of systems, reports and owners involved.

Need to know why the numbers are unreliable?

Start with a focused review of the records, fields, reports and ownership gaps creating the problem.
