Deduplication, which is known as the process of analysing the identification and removal of duplicity in data, is a process that allows the reduction and the quality improvement of the amount of information that needs to be manipulated and stored. If you are a business owner, you probably know how important it is to avoid dealing with inconsistent data, not only in terms of storage but also in terms of efficiency, time saving and cost reduction.
Deduplication thus is a process that could deliver an important benefit to your business not only because of the reduction of the amount of useless data but mostly in the quality of your data, which translates into the efficiency of your company.
Discover software that allows you to own consistent data, information to deduplicate into a database exists, and do so effectively, without errors or ambiguities, take a look into Egon solution.
What Address Deduplication is and What Your Company Needs to Know
To better understand the concept, let’s think about the fact that high quality corporate procedures are subject to proper data handling and software management. The duplicate information included in the databases, instead, is a problem. How so? Both in the field of human-application interaction and in terms of avoidable expenses due. Imagine for a minute, for example, in the specific field of the tenfold increase of addresses, to unnecessary duplicate the sending of promotional materials or simple official communications to the same company: if in your database appear users with name, last name and address repeated for 10 times, not only it is, among other things, is harmful to the public image of the company but it is also an expense that accumulated over time and repeated several occasions could put a strain on your budget.
It must be also considered that the repetition of data, perhaps concerning manually processed information, continuously exposes organizations to high risks of error in more general ways. Data deduplication procedures (oriented to the elimination of information redundancy and inconsistency from the database) allow thus to manage this “human variable” to completely reduce its impact on the correctness and uniqueness of the information processed.
Data and Postal Address Deduplication
Egon, the data and address deduplication software, is designed to double-check databases by selecting different parameters such as first name, last name, company name, tax code, address, etc., identifying all possible redundant data.
Each validated item is assigned a unique match code, which is analyzed and evaluated through precise rules and allows to reliably identify duplicate records, highlighting them in the output report.
More specifically, Egon works on:
Lists of information and addresses in databases used in management software, crm, shipping programs, and many others.
Lists of addresses extracted from excel files
Address lists in an access database
Egon: the Deduplication Process
Egon system, therefore, removes duplicate addresses, making data extraction more effective and efficient, even during information processing. This operation makes it possible to identify and eliminate duplicate master data or evaluate presumed duplicates by selecting criteria such as name, surnames, social reason, address, etc.
Each element, previously normalized, is assigned a unique code, the “match code”, which, analysed and evaluated through certain rules, allows to identify and report in output double records with high reliability. The deduplication module is able to process and compare several archives in the same processing, even with uneven record paths.
If you need to carry out an analysis of your database in order to eliminate duplicate data or if you need a tool that integrates with your application and supports data entry by reporting any unnecessary entries (as the inserted record is already archived), contact us and we will get back to you as soon as possible!
