A Summer Project?

Why not take the traditional summer slow down to Cleanup Your Data?

If the task seems too daunting, concentrate on a smaller piece. Assess your greatest need areas and concentrate on them. An ongoing data clean up strategy can ensure that gradually all of your data issues are addressed.

How to begin? Ask yourself tough questions about your data:

- Is your coding structure as clean as it can be?
- Is your duplicate rate as low as it can be?
- Are spousal/corporate records linked?
- Are relationships organized to allow for seamless major gift integration?
- Are there multiple locations to consider?

Asking these and other related questions is a great way to kick start your plan!

Any data clean-up tips to share with others?
