Why is it important to clean data sources before importing into IdentityNow?

Cleaning data sources before importing into IdentityNow is crucial as it ensures the quality and accuracy of the data being integrated into the system. By eliminating duplicates, correcting errors, and ensuring consistency, the process becomes more efficient. A clean dataset significantly reduces the time required for the importation process since any pre-existing issues can lead to complications during the import, such as errors that necessitate rework or additional troubleshooting. This streamlined process contributes to a smoother onboarding experience and ensures that the data is reliable from the outset, thereby minimizing potential disruptions to ongoing identity governance and management activities.
