- Inconsistent Data Capture (e.g. Main Street vs. Main St.)
- Silo mentality with respect to data and data management
- Multiple data models and databases across a single enterprise
- As many or more references and ordering codes as there are vendors
- Delays delivering service to the end customer due to errors in, or mistrust of, data in the systems
- Overheads maintaining the same information in multiple locations and systems
- Overheads translating from one data model to another
- Difficulties tracking orders and delivery of service for leased lines, network equipment, interconnections, and services, amongst others
- Demanding efforts to report asset usage to regulatory bodies due to information sources being inconsistent
