According to the report, "leaders demonstrate strength across a full range of data quality functions, including profiling, parsing, standardization, matching, validation and enrichment. They exhibit a clear understanding and vision of where the market is headed, including recognition of multidomain data quality issues and delivery of enterprise-level data quality implementations. Leaders have an established market presence, significant size and a multinational presence (directly or as a result of a parent company)."

"Businesses need versatile data quality solutions that can adapt to rapidly changing data types and enterprise infrastructures," said Keith Kohl, vice president product management, Trillium Software. "With flexible on-premise and cloud-based deployment options, Trillium's global data quality solutions easily scale to Big Data and provide self-service data quality capabilities empower business users to quickly prepare, remediate and manage data quality so they can utilize better data for better business decisions."

This translates into 11.6% growth in constant-dollar terms over 2013, which had brought 11.9% growth over 2012. Gartner forecasts that this market's growth will accelerate during the next few years, to almost 14.4% by 2017, bringing the total to $2.1 billion.
