Melissa Data Announces Single, Affordable Platform for MDM and Data Quality Initiatives
New TDQ-IT software extends the power of SQL Server Integration Services to profile, cleanse, integrate and deliver the critical data quality businesses need
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. (April 7, 2009) – Melissa
Data, (www.melissadata.com), a provider of high-performance data
quality, contact data verification and mail management solutions,
today announced new software called the Total Data Quality
Integration Toolkit (TDQ-IT). The new TDQ-IT integrates into
Microsoft’s SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS 2005/2008) to
deliver the full spectrum of data quality processes as defined by
industry analysts including: Data Profiling, Cleansing, Parsing &
Standardization, Matching and Monitoring at an affordable price
within SSIS.
“Melissa Data has leveraged the extensibility of the SSIS platform
to create components that support Data Quality and master data
management (MDM) including the address verification that Melissa
Data is known for. This is an excellent example of how our partners
enhance the value of SSIS, allowing customers to access
best-of-breed functionality seamlessly integrated with SSIS,” said
Denise Draper, Microsoft unit manager for SSIS.
“Our observations show that 60 percent or more of our customers’
databases contain outdated, flawed, or data with one or more
errors,” said Bud Walker product manager for Melissa Data. “Data
quality issues and the need to integrate increasingly complex
enterprise data - in all its different formats, structures and
sources – makes it increasingly difficult for IT organizations to
deliver a single, comprehensive view of critical information
assets.”
Melissa Data solves this problem by leveraging the integration
capabilities inherent in Microsoft’s SSIS. Both SSIS and TDQ-IT can
be employed quickly to integrate large volumes of diverse data
sources with complex transformations and data cleansing for a wide
variety of data quality and MDM applications. In addition TDQ-IT
will provide a sharable data driven architecture, providing reusable
library of transformations within Microsoft SSIS.
”Because TDQ-IT integrates into and leverages SSIS – we are able to
offer a single, unified platform at a fraction of the cost of other
enterprise data integration platforms,” said Walker. “It’s full
featured, scalable and delivers the lowest cost of ownership for
data quality – period. And, the software has an easy-to-use GUI that
delivers ‘any source, any target’ capabilities without the need for
complex programming,” added Walker.
Demonstration videos and sample SSIS packages of all six data
quality processes are available at:
