Match and DedupeExpress deduplication software

Advanced technology and data processing capabilities

Matchand DedupeExpress are powerful batch matching applications which interrogate data directly, search for matching records to identify duplicates and link between disparate systems. Their leading technology and data processing capabilities are second to none:

Visual Basic (VB) capability

Powerful VB scripting extends the functionality of Match, enabling developers to define and implement their own matching criteria by writing and including those scripts directly into the product.

Integrate with virtually any other application, perform specific pre or post processing functions. Integrate with Data Warehouses, ETL, CRM, ERP, GIS, EIS, BI and any other data visualisation or migration application.

Customisable match definitions

Prevent extraneous data affecting the overall 'match score' by allowing users to define the criteria by which Match returns potential duplicates.

User-defined merge/append/update functionality

Users have complete control over the treatment of identified matches. Process potential matches with ease - review, enhance, flag, group, link, update or delete as required. Match will flag duplicates or group multiple matches together for further interaction, or delete the duplicate data.

Linking and scoring

Match generates a results list of master and duplicate ID relationships, along with their percentage match score and groupings. These are ideal for linking records across systems as a reference of which records are associated, as well as for data migration and integration projects, or for grouping matched records which enables CRM systems to process and remove duplicates.

Database integrity

To ensure that relational database integrity is maintained, a 'Reassign Orphaned Records' Wizard guides the user through the process of reassigning potentially orphaned data before duplicate records are deleted.

International data transformations libraries

Comprehensive international data transformation libraries improve the matching process to transform ten categories - business, names, addresses, salutations, etc. - in five languages.

User-defined transformation libraries

Users may define their own data transformation rules for specific local or business domain specific data.

Data processing capabilities

Apply intelligent name-case, business/address elements and gender transformations to data. Create customised transformations which will standardise name and address information and screen out salacious or 'junk' data. Use 'also known as' matching and the power of Fonetix™, DQ Global's fuzzy matching algorithms, to achieve the exact results you want - fast.

The integrated data processor adds immense power to the software. Users can standardise and enhance data by applying intelligent name-case, business/address elements and gender transformations and, using simple drop-down menus, allows user-defined treatment of matching records:

Flag or group them
Cross-reference master and secondary records
Merge data to produce a single customer view
Data transformation libraries:

Business
First names
Addresses
Salutations
Qualifications
Job titles
e-mail

Dates and events
Custom rules
Determine gender and generate salutation
Correct case (upper, lower, title)
Parse names to extract first, middle or surnames, title or name suffix
Pattern match to identify anomalies
Migrate and merge data
Write your own data processing rules with integrated Visual Basic
Create phonetic match keys
Remove leading and trailing spaces (trim)
Generate job codes, based on job function and level to identify the ideal customers to market to
User-defined variables enable powerful data processing without any coding knowledge

The data processor can also be used in stand-alone mode to standardise data.

The interactive review processing allows the user to intervene where there is matching uncertainty to create the perfect record and single customer view, or automate this process using powerful, fully integrated Visual Basic (VB) scripting.

The data processor is compatible with a wide range of data sources:

Dbase
Visual FoxPro
MS Access
MS SQLServer
SalesLogix
Oracle
MySQL
MS UDL
Text files

Extended functionality

Match integrates directly with Pivotal, SalesLogix, Siebel and GoldMine to leverage your investment in CRM. Search for and link matching records across disparate systems, merge flag and group them to create the perfect record.
