In this presentation, Julien Coquet, VP of Product Management and Chief Evangelist at Hub’Scan, takes you through analytics and big data pitfalls and how they can be avoided and prevented. Big Data is driven by multiple, heterogenous sources that hardly ever get checked for quality. This skews reporting and any decision making process linked to underlying data. When digital data points become legion, measurement strategies need to be structured and analytics tags need to be tamed. Julien shares best practices for achieving optimal digital analytics data quality, from tagging strategies to automating quality assurance processes with cutting-edge solutions such as Hub’Scan.
