We have recently refined our offerings to focus on a new service that we call eXtreme Information Quality ManagementTM (xIQMTM), which includesthe process and support structures required to effectively manage all facets of information. The xIQM focus is on delivering quality information to the right people, at the right time. It mandates a comprehensive approach to managing information that addresses all related areas: BI, DW, MDM, DG, EPM, etc. Properly managing data is a foundation for xIQM, which also demands that data architecture is developed and actively managed. The term "eXtreme" reflects that our approach to managing information quality utilizes many of the same concepts included in Extreme Programming (frequent releases, timeboxing, iterative development, user interaction, management collaboration, etc.).
