Bridging the gap between theory and practice by bringing together data management experts from companies and academia

The Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ) is a research consortium and expert community in the field of data management addressing the challenges resulting from digitalization and data-driven strategies. The core objective of the CC CDQ is to transfer innovative concepts and scientific research results in the domain of data management to everyday business practice in order to support companies in  managing data as an asset. 

• Corporate partners are more than 15 renowned companies from different industries that consider data management critical for the success of their business.
• Researchers come from leading academic institutions – among them the Faculty of Business and Economics (HEC – University of Lausanne), the Institute of Information Management (IWI – University of St. Gallen), and the Institute of Accounting, Control and Auditing (ACA – University of St. Gallen).

The CC CDQ is headed by Prof. Dr. Christine Legner (HEC – University of Lausanne) and operated by CDQ AG.

Based on latest scientific and practical insights, the CC CDQ develops methods, architectures, reference models, and prototypes needed for efficient implementation of data management. As an expert community, the CC CDQ hosts workshops and focus groups in which knowledge and experiences are shared, best practices are presented, and approaches and solutions are discussed.
