Abstract In today's data environment, characterized by rapid growth and diverse sources, data redundancy poses a significant barrier to effective data management. This common issue, defined by unnecessary duplication of data within an organization, takes a toll on data quality, consistency, and overall system performance. This paper examines the different forms and causes of data redundancy and offers a range of strategies for preventing and addressing it effectively. We will look at foundational preventative measures, such as careful database design and normalization principles, as well as reactive methods like data deduplication techniques and merge-purge operations. A key point throughout this discussion is the need for a complete approach, which combines modern technology solutions with strong data governance practices. Our primary goal is to assist organizations in reducing redundancy, enhancing data integrity, and significantly improving their operational efficiency. A conceptual flowchart visually represents the typical process of identifying and resolving data redundancy, providing a helpful guide.
