Abstract

The importance of high-quality data has been long recognised in Shell. During the 1990s, a major data management programme developed and implemented sound data management practices that were successfully implemented in a number of operating units (OUs). However, each OU adapted the tools and techniques to their own environment. A unified global approach to data quality remained elusive until the new millennium. This chapter describes Shell’s global data quality journey since the early part of the millennium to the present.
