The Data-Quality Experts

Loreto Services & Technologies was founded by Gian Di Loreto, an expert in the efficient implementation and management of corporate data audits, integration and cleansing. Gian and his team of data-quality experts have many years of experience on behalf of Fortune 500 companies in a wide range of industries, helping them to integrate disparate databases, improve the usability of their data, and enhance their product and service models.

Loreto has traditionally been focused on helping companies resolve pension-data problems, but in recent years has applied its data-quality expertise to all forms of mission-critical information that is vulnerable to quality-degradation problems as a result of data migrations.

Loreto is divided into two service areas: The first focuses on data cleansing, conversion and consolidation for a wide variety of companies. The second builds and maintains ultra-high-security, customized legacy-data warehouses that client companies can easily access on a continual basis. Many of Loreto’s clients draw upon both areas of Loreto’s expertise.

About Gian Di Loreto

Loreto Services & Technologies was founded in July, 2004 by Gian Di Loreto, one of the nation's leading authorities on pension-data quality.

Gian, who holds a Ph.D. in physics from Michigan State University, began his career as an experimental physicist at Chicago's world-renowned Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory, where he spent several years performing statistical analyses and identifying errors in massive databases generated by proton/anti-proton collisions.

After his tenure at Fermilab, he leveraged the analytical skills he developed in a scientific context as a software developer for a firm that reconciled and corrected data generated by General Motors' pension funds.

He then moved to Loreto Services & Technologies' predecessor firm, Arkidata Corporation, where he worked as an analyst. In this role, he consolidated, corrected and integrated defined-benefit pension plan data from many of Arkidata's Fortune 500 clients, including Kaiser Permanente, Bell Atlantic, Continental Airlines, Dun & Bradstreet, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Northrop Grumman, Sprint and Verizon.

While at Arkidata, it became clear to Gian and his colleagues – some of whom have joined him at Loreto – that systemic errors, usually stemming from data migrations, are costing American business many billions of dollars a year. Loreto's mission is to help these companies understand what is in their databases, identify errors and discrepancies, help companies integrate disparate databases and, in the process, eliminate historical and ongoing errors.
