Apatar’s new data quality service allows users to instantly validate and enhance any US address before it enters CRM/ERP systems, databases, flat files, and RSS feeds, all without coding
United States of America (Press Release) April 3, 2008 --
Apatar, Inc announced the official release of its new StrikeIron US Address Verification connector for the Apatar Open Source Data Integration toolset. Using StrikeIron’s US Address Verification Web service, the new feature relies on United States Postal Service-certified technology to verify, correct, and enhance any address in the United States with live data. It cleans customer data before it gets into CRM/ERP systems, databases, flat files, and RSS feeds by correcting extracted addresses, adding ZIP+4 data, specifying congressional districts, carrier routes, etc.
According to Aberdeen Group, 52 percent of organizations consider the “verification of data accuracy or completeness” to be one of the biggest customer data management challenges. Apatar is the first company to release open source tools for non-technical staff and customers to access the application data they need to make their work efforts more efficient. With Apatar’s visual toolset, your average users can perform even complex data integration without having to write a single line of a code. The new data quality connector was created as a result of a partnership agreement with StrikeIron, Inc., the worldwide leader of Web services commercialization through the StrikeIron Web Services Marketplace™, signed in November 2007.
The StrikeIron US Address Verification connector closely inspects each address to ensure its validity and, using sophisticated matching and data synchronization technology, updates incorrect addresses according to the postal standards. On top of that, it inspects house numbers, street directions, street names, street types, apartment numbers, and P.O. boxes to ensure the accuracy of each value. StrikeIron’s Web service processes and returns a valid quality dataset with all possible mistakes (misspellings, wrong street type extensions, city and state names) eliminated. Using StrikeIron’s US Address Verification Web service, Apatar allows users to increase productivity, improve sales strategies, and take customer service to a new level by providing faster transaction processing and higher accuracy. This solution can be used to verify both a single address and a large set of addresses in batch mode.
