On the product side, BackOffice Associates released version 6.2 of its DSP, featuring dspCompose™, an advanced, whole-enterprise approach to data remediation. Capabilities include cross-departmental, closed-loop error resolution that fully automates data quality maintenance. The company also previewed its dspGovern solution for active data governance, which is expected to be generally available by the end of the year.
