Introduction to DQA

DQ Analyzer (DQA) combines advanced data profiling and analysis capabilities with a point-and-click interface that is simple enough for business managers to use without extensive training.

DQA may be simple, but it is not simplistic. It is a powerful tool that includes the robust, high-performance engine from Data Quality Center and offers an entire complement of the Ataccama expression language.

Features of DQA

• Speed. Analyze millions of records in a matter of minutes.
• Ease of use. Start profiling immediately using an easy-to-use wizard interface.
• Flexibility. Use files or databases as an input.
• Powerful. Get much more than "standard" data profiling statistics, such as pattern analysis, business rules checks, and drill-through capabilities, using an embedded relational database.
• Handles unstructured data. Parse and standardize cluttered data fields.
• Preprocessing. Prepare your data before analyzing it: split it, join multiple sources, add new columns, or calculate values.
• Rich expression language. Unlimited flexibility is based on the rich expression language, including regular expressions, which can assist users with validating formats and identifying specific strings of data within unstructured text.
• Tutorials. Learn from basic, advanced, or complex project examples within the product, complemented by online video tutorials to help you get up to speed.
