The secure way to match and cleanse data in the Scottish public sector.
Matching and cleansing data sets can be a complicated, time consuming and labour-intensive process but it has many benefits. Clean, consistent data can help an organisation improve its customers’ experience, deliver more personalised services and make better decisions based on sound intelligence.
Data Hub can analyse multiple data sources and produce analysis reports for partner organisations without the need for them to develop their own solution or install, maintain and pay for additional software.

- A flexible solution to suit each organisation’s data needs
- Easy-to-access, online service
- Summary and analysis reports to display the data held for each customer/address
