For this paper, the student is positioned as the chief information officer (CIO) and is asked to lead an initiative to merge the data infrastructures of both insurance companies into a single consolidated data warehouse.

You will submit your data integrity and scrubbing portion of the plan. Review the scenario for the final assessment. Using the scenario, develop this portion of the project plan.

To meet requirements you will need to address the four aspects of this subsection of the proposal, which are as follows: 1) data integrity, 2) primary key(s), 3) customer data, and 4) duplicate data. The following critical elements will be addressed in this submission:

Data Integration and Scrubbing:

a) Data Integrity: How will you combine date fields with various formats (i.e., MMDDYYYY vs. DDMMYYYY)? What other data issues will need to be addressed?

b) Primary Key(s): What will you use as a unique identifier to combine the records? What primary keys, foreign keys, and indexes will you need to create?

c) Customer Data: Once the data is merged into the data warehouse, how will you be able to differentiate customers from Virtual World Insurance Company and customers from Maxon Insurance Company?

d) Duplicate Data: How will you eliminate duplicate records in the database to ensure data quality?
