This is only the case for business applications in a third of the companies, while 29 percent note certain deviations and the majority of respondents (39 percent) even report major discrepancies.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons for this could be that the responsibilities with regard to the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-wackrksujmj4l6u2lkhtc0rdy26i8n5a\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Data quality<\/span> are usually regulated differently. Often it is the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-xup7e0ktn2r1bbctg1w65h8rvj16ngp0\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">ERP<\/span>-users themselves, who have to take care of this, although they often lack defined specifications.<\/p>\n<p>In every fourth case, this function is the responsibility of the process owners, while special organizational areas such as a staff unit for <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-fwuyaxi1s58nmuof95pr1swjdzc33aus\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Data quality<\/span> are practically nowhere to be found in companies.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the unclear responsibilities and the vague strategic <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-iqrhvylcyve1kezjgtz8mqbg8icqin32\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Positioning<\/span> However, the companies also cite other reasons why <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-nat0tnf4i2r7stnhg2vcnf4a526jmqi0\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Data quality<\/span> often does not work so well. In the opinion of the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-y4csikfglnhlbq6r175mnircrvy49wti\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">ERP<\/span>-Users particularly criticized the lack of tool support and - presumably as a result - weaknesses on the user side.<\/p>\n<p>Carsten Kraus therefore sees the combination of inadequate quality specifications, unclear responsibilities and a lack of technical support as a problematic situation that companies must address.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"The calculation cannot work out if you <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-uw0zn6yvnktynpsw7kjzwdfqyzsreqej\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">ERP<\/span>-users with this task, but they are neither provided with a clearly defined quality orientation nor with the necessary tools to maintain the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-hsq2urzp559vpidm18s5adcdpw0hb084\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Data quality<\/span> be equipped\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>he points to a significant contradiction.
