European DataWarehouse Shines a Light on Data Quality
During a recent event at the TSI Congress, European DataWarehouse (EDW) acknowledged the exceptional contributions to data quality made by organizations in the financial sector. This year marked the third annual Data Quality Awards, where EDW sought to highlight the importance of high-quality data in risk assessment and investment planning.
Best Data Quality – Deal of the Year Award
Among the accolades presented, the coveted award for the 'Best Data Quality – Deal of the Year' went to Domivest B.V. for their remarkable deal, Domi 2023-1 B.V. This recognition speaks volumes about the dedication of Domivest to maintain superior standards in data quality.

Josja Reek, CFO at Domivest, expressed gratitude, stating, "We are incredibly proud to receive this year's 'Best Data Quality – Deal of the Year' award from European DataWarehouse. Our team is dedicated to upholding top-tier data quality in its reporting, and EDW's tools play a key role in helping us maintain those high standards." Their commitment to transparency sets a standard for the industry.
History and Impact of the Awards
The Data Quality Awards program was initiated in 2022, with its first notable presentation occurring at EDW's 10th-anniversary celebration in Frankfurt. This initiative was established to recognize outstanding achievements in the field of data quality, particularly from Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) issuers and their servicers.
CEO Insights
Dr. Christian Thun, CEO of EDW, highlighted the purpose of the awards during the ceremony. He remarked, "EDW's award program gives us a chance to recognize the critical role of data quality and express our gratitude to our issuers for their meticulous efforts in ensuring their data is reliable and valuable for risk analysis, investment planning, and research purposes." Such recognition reinforces the value of maintaining high-quality data standards.
Data Quality Scoring System
To select award recipients, EDW employs an overall data-quality scoring system based on thousands of predefined data rules and checks. This robust framework was developed to enhance communication around data quality scoring at the deal level, which EDW identified as necessary back in 2016.
Development of Data Quality Checks
Since its inception, EDW has created and implemented over 4,000 checks and rules aimed at both the ECB Loan-Level Data templates and the ESMA Underlying Exposures, Investor Report, and Significant Event templates. This extensive work reflects EDW's commitment to transparency and efficiency in data handling.
