Syniti Takes Home Information Management Award at SBR TEA 2021

A staggering 70% of digital transformation projects fail due to bad data. What exactly is bad data? Bad data refers to data that is inconsistent, inaccurate, or incomplete. It can affect organizations in many ways, ranging from financial losses, reputational damage, regulatory compliance issues, to operational inefficiencies, among others.

Evidently, an organization’s readiness to successfully undertake digital transformation is grounded in their data. It takes the right technology and best practices to maintain the quality and maturity of data so that organizations can make data-driven decisions that achieve tangible, measurable business outcomes.

For this reason, Singapore Business Review (SBR) Technology Excellence Awards is recognizing the work of firms and companies that have launched new technological products, services, and strategies that have made a mark on distinction, innovation, success, influence, and dynamism.
