Data is collected and processed in a variety of systems; CRM and financial applications, call centres, external data suppliers and more. Every data source has its own unique format, which means that customer data is stored differently depending on the particular system, and probably exported in a variety of ways as well. The syntactical and semantic validity of data sources varies greatly, such that a particular individual stored on multiple systems may not be recognized from one to the next.
