Necessity of Conceptual Data Modeling for Information Quality

Pete Stiglich of EWSolutions has written an article for InfoAdvisors on why conceptual data models are critical for information quality. I especially liked his statement:

"The later in the project lifecycle problems are corrected, the greater the cost will be. However, the greatest cost is often the cost of poor Information Quality when the business cannot receive the information it needs, or is forced to make decisions based on incorrect or incomplete information."

That pretty much sums up the whole reason why we are so passionate about professional data management, doesn't it?
