Data Quality is no longer just batch oriented data cleansing. Today's data quality projects require real-time functionality and the full spectrum of identity resolution, standardization, validation, enhancement and profiling. Risk management and regulatory compliance require fast and accurate screening of identities. Global market imperatives require support for a multitude of countries and languages.
IST's data quality tools provide innovative approaches enabling them to handle large volumes of data, disparate sources, complex processes, multinational requirements, and yet be easy to use.
Our data quality tools leverage the powerful and flexible algorithms used in our signature searching and matching product NameSearch® — the industry leading identity resolution technology. These algorithms overcome the error and variation that prove challenging to traditional DQ tools. The high quality matches detected by NameSearch allow our DQ processes to identify all the possible matches,
in the shortest possible time and minimize any false matches. The hybrid approach utilized by NameSearch optimizes the best of deterministic, probabilistic, phonetic and transliterative techniques to achieve the highest quality matching possible.
