Arab Bank, a leading financial institution, faced a significant challenge in managing the quality of its vast data assets. The presence of invalid data hindered critical decision-making processes and impacted operational efficiency. To address this issue, Arab Bank sought a robust solution to enhance data governance and improve overall data quality.
