What our members say

With the CC CDQ membership, we can learn directly from best practices and join forces to develop new topics. For example, we are able to implement our data catalog project much faster, cheaper and with better quality than would have been possible with a classic project approach from a management consultancy. The resulting network is also extremely valuable. Concrete questions can be answered informally with the help of respective experts from other companies.

The CC CDQ is a platform for Bosch where we gain valuable input and insight into a large variety of topics related to data management and data quality. As a community of data experts from large international enterprises, the CC CDQ is a great partner for bench-marking, developing good practice, and identifying trends and future topics in data management. All this supports Bosch on its journey to turning our data into key-assets and becoming a leading, AI-driven IoT enterprise!
