Unique Software Improves Data Integrity

Published 20 May 2024

Any data consultant or system consultant worth their salt knows the importance of data integrity. Since data loss, corruption or errors can have serious consequences —including financial loss, reputational damage and legal liabilities — ensuring that data remains reliable and usable is a priority.

A modern company’s data can contain thousands or millions of links that conveniently point to documents, diagrams, reports, spreadsheets, images and just about anything you can think of. What is somewhat less convenient is the fact that when this data is relocated or renamed, the links break, rendering the linked
data inaccessible.

Common practice is to locate and repair broken links after the fact, but this consistently proves to be an unnecessary expenditure of costly man-hours that leaves the data unavailable until the required repairs are made.

The more modern, efficient way to deal with this problem is to protect file links before renaming or relocation, ensuring that links remain functional and the associated data is instantly available to users.

Locating and repairing broken links after the fact consistently proves to be an unnecessary expenditure of costly man-hours that leaves the data unavailable until the required repairs are made.

UK firm, GoSharePoint, a group of consultants, architects, project managers and developers specializing in data migration, upgrades, design and discovery, rely on a specific software — LinkFixer Advanced™ — to help manage and safeguard their data. Here’s what company director, Michael Pomfret, said in a review on Trustpilot:
