Challenges that outsourced data cleansing teams in the Philippines can face

Data is not static; it is continuously changing. Therefore, whether it's project-based or not, you need to ensure that the information being handled by your data cleansing team is up-to-date and any changes to the data is communicated. This further emphasizes why outsourced teams heavily rely on cloud-based sharing systems as it provides a continuous flow of updated data at all times, no matter who changes what on each side.

Data cleansing is quite tedious and repetitive, so it's important to keep your data cleansing team feeling like they are a part of the "big picture" and communicate exactly what effects their data cleansing will have on the project as a whole.
