Question 1:
TechnoSys Corp., a mid-sized IT company specializing in software development and consulting,
has faced persistent challenges in maintaining data quality across internal and client-facing
systems, negatively impacting decision-making and customer satisfaction. Initially, the company
lacked awareness of data quality's importance, resulting in frequent errors, confusion, and a
reactive blame culture. As client complaints increased, management acknowledged the issue but
relied on short-term fixes without taking consistent action. A major client loss prompted the
company to hire a Quality Manager, establish a dedicated department, and allocate resources for
training and systematic problem resolution. Over time, the company implemented best practices,
preventative measures, and continuous improvement programs, integrating quality goals into
performance evaluations. Eventually, quality management became a core part of corporate
policy, with robust systems preventing defects and earning TechnoSys a reputation as a reliable
and accurate industry leader.
