Why Is Accuracy Important?

All organizations use data and every employee must be able to deliver reliable and accurate data all of the time. No matter how many fail-safe systems we use (check digits, double keying, 100% verification) people still make mistakes with numbers and data. A simple transposition of two numbers can start a chain of misinformation that can take days, and sometimes months, to fix.

Every error costs money and it can take a lot of time to find and correct errors. When you consider the additional cost of offending, irritating, and possibly losing a customer, the cost of errors is enormous. Let Evoke Development help you drastically reduce the number of errors made, teaching your staff techniques to get it right the first time, every time.

Taking a Deeper Look at Errors

Like many companies, BTN, Inc. knew their employees were making far too many clerical errors and attempted to eradicate data entry errors at their source. Unfortunately, they made the incorrect assumption that such errors were nothing more than typos. Consequently, senior management established a quality department to find and report mistakes. Once notified that a particular employee was making errors, BTN management was mandated to send the employee to a keyboarding class to improve his/her typing skills and tell the […]

Why Do People Make Mistakes?

Most errors happen in the perceptual or visual aspect of working with data. It is not a keying error – or a slip of the fingers – that makes $369.23 turn into $396.23. The problem lies in how we look at and read the data. Between our eyes and our brain, the 6 and 9 are reversed. While most people refer to data errors as “typos,” we call them “eye-pos” to underscore that these errors are not caused by incorrect […]
