Pursuit tool: overview

	The Pursuit tool is a web browser-based application that enables errors and exceptions to be tracked, investigated and resolved.
Evolutionary lifecycle	When employed utilising the Pursuit Method, the process of error management can evolve, from what is typically reactive fixing and patching activity, into a consolidated approach that can become increasingly automated as knowledge of errors and their resolutions are captured and understood. Being able to understand the root cause of errors is the only way to achieve a true reduction in the cost of managing data.
Supports analysis	It facilitates the gathering, tracking and resolution of exceptions generated by systems. It enables you to understand what is going on, to analyse your data issues and to help you eradicate errors from your systems.
Cleansing framework	It is installed as an 'out-the-box' product which is configured according to the particular requirements of your business. It provides contextual help and information pages that are tailored to support your business processes and systems. These enable users to easily assess the procedure for fixing an exception and the appropriate action to take.
Fosters community	Once a cost-effective method of error resolution has been found this can be quickly and cheaply shared with others dealing with errors, for example, a data cleansing team, by adding to the contextual help. This way a business can capture and benefit from a greater understanding if the exception handling process.
