Address correction and address standardization is an important part of any data quality initiative. Unfortunately, addresses are not like Social Security Numbers (SSN) or Telephone numbers
where one character difference would mean a different entity.

IST's address correction and address standardization SSIS component can enhance the data
quality of addresses in your database. Improved quality of addresses can lead to reduction in your
mailing costs, improved customer service and better overall data quality. Whether you are faced with a business intelligence initiative or supporting a critical revenue generating requirement, the effectiveness of either campaign can rest with your data quality.

Designed to overcome a significant degree of variation, fix misspellings and erroneous information, fill in omitted components and normalize incorrect formatting, IST's address correction and address standardization component will manage vast quantities of data with incredible speed and accuracy.

Our address correction process goes through the following:

Address Cleansing
Removes any additional non-alphanumeric data or noise information.
Applies standardized rules for street prefix and postfix. Removes a contact name
or company name erroneously included within the address fields.

Address Parsing
Using a combination of advanced pattern recognition algorithms and knowledgebase
expertise our tool parses the address in the appropriate components.

Address Verification
After address cleansing and address parsing we perform a search using our advanced fuzzy searching and matching engine against a database of all addresses in a specific country.

Currently IST offers address correction and address standardization for USA and Canada.
