"Data Quality is an IT issue because information is stored in databases and applications that they manage. Therefore, if there are problems with the data, then IT is responsible for cleaning up their own mess."
"Data Quality is a Business issue because information is created by business processes and users that they manage. Therefore, if there are problems with the data, then the Business is responsible for cleaning up their own mess."
"Data Quality is not an IT issue. Data Quality is not a Business issue. Data Quality is everyone's issue."
