iWay Data Quality Server (DQS) is a complete tool for complex data quality management. iWay DQS not only evaluates, monitors, and manages the quality of data in different information systems, but it also prohibits inaccurate data from being admitted into those systems. iWay DQS is bundled with a specific set of business rules and localized dictionaries. Banks, insurance, health care, and telecommunication companies choose iWay DQS for its ease of implementation and tangible business gains.

The following image shows a sample plan opened in the workspace area of iWay DQS. Here you can design and configure plans (workflows), which can range from simple to complex, using predefined steps (objects). For example, you can design a plan to cleanse personal identification numbers (Social Security Numbers) or credit card numbers.
