Dylan Jones has posted interview in which I discuss data issues and my first book, [*Why New Systems Fail*](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1435456440?tag=phisim-20&ref=philsimon.com).

Here's an excerpt:

**Data Quality Pro: Bloor Research uncovered some interesting findings in their industry survey recently. They found that the failure rate was extremely high.** **What do you feel is preventing these companies learning from their mistakes?** 

**Phil Simon:** In a word, experience. Many of my clients have never been through a major new system implementation before. Most have never replaced their legacy back office systems with one integrated solution, at least with current staff members and levels. Such a project is obviously much more time-consuming than a minor upgrade of a stand-alone application that isn't really connected to anything else.
