NameSearch — Key Advantages
NameSearch provides key advantages in that it...
- is comprised of sophisticated algorithms that are not
dependent on any single traditional technique such as phonetics, transliteration,
probabilistic or deterministic approaches.
- leverages the multiple techniques to achieve a truly
best-of-breed solution that combines the best of various matching techniques, but also compensating for the inherent shortcomings in any given algorithm.
- has an easy-to-use & intuitive interface that allows users to
tune and adjust all aspects of the rules & algorithms being used, without needing
extensive training or background in data analysis or matching algorithms.
- can handle many different data types — such as persons,
companies, addresses, products and so on.
- runs natively on most platforms including Windows, Unix, IBM
AS/400, z/OS and more.
- works with any database or indexing system, and has out of the
box support for Oracle, SQL Server and DB/2.
- builds smart keys that index your data overcoming spelling,
phonetic, out of order words, linguistic, and other errors & variations.
- features comparison routines that mimic human ability to determine
a match based on extensive criteria.
- features powerful and flexible search strategies that balance the need to find all possible matches, with the requirement of high performance and scalability.
