We all have heard of Data Mining and we have all seen the abilities it can produce, but we also know how tedious the collection of data can be. It is the same for a little small company with a few customers as it is for a large company with millions of customers. Additionally how do you keep your data safe?

We have all heard of Identity Theft and the importance of secure data. But just because we have spent millions of dollars in IT work does not mean we know it is accurate? Things change fast you see; people get new telephone numbers, change addresses and jobs at least one of the three every three years. The chances of any database having accurate information is simply not possible.

Thus if we are data mining we need a way to verify which data sets are accurate and believe it or not the last set of data may not be the most accurate therefore we cannot simply discard the old data for the new data you see? We need ways to accelerate the accumulated data so we can run thru it as fast as possible yet we must insure that our data mining techniques are taking into consideration miss matched data and incorrect data, along with inaccurate data.

Data Mining may have been over hyped a little and those business systems or even government data mining systems at the NSA; if they do not take into consideration these thoughts they are basically worthless and should not be considered you see? Think on this in 2006.
