Clarification: An article in the October issue, "Coming Clean With Data Quality," did not accurately explain a glitch in stored data at MetLife. As noted, MetLife's systems analysts discovered that, due to a systems default, customers on a particular source database were identified as having either "0" or "9" automobiles. Fortunately, for both MetLife and its customers, this database was being used by another line of business for other products and not, as was stated in the article, for MetLife auto policies.
