For Good Measure

New research commissioned by global management consulting firm Accenture indicates that many firms lack reliable metrics for verifying and qualifying the accuracy of their data. Conducted by TABB Group, the survey also found that buy- and sell-side firms alike fail to address reference data in a proactive manner.

Of the 50 data management executives that responded to the survey, only 20 percent reported having active metrics for measuring data value. Forty percent of respondents said that their organizations follow a reactive approach, addressing problems in reference data on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, 10 percent of survey participants reported having no metrics whatsoever for measuring the effectiveness of reference data.

According to TABB Group, the inconsistencies that result from not measuring data quality can impact a variety of functions throughout an organization, perhaps most directly, traders and risk managers. <<<

次に to boot について

To boot usually means “in addition, besides, moreover”, as here in Falk, by Joseph Conrad: “At all events he was a Scandinavian of some sort, and a bloated monopolist to boot”. The phrase can sometimes contain the idea of some positive outcome or advantage, not just something additional. In this, it’s reflecting its ancient origin in Old English bot, advantage, remedy. It’s of Germanic origin and is related to Dutch boete and German Busse (a penance or fine) as well as to the English words better and best.

と言うことでどちらも、論文での使用は充分にＯＫです。
