1. What is address management?

Address management is a process that enables companies to enter validated postal address records, and keep them up-to-date and accurate. Address management solutions compress address files from national postal administrations. Users can then find addresses in the minimum amount of time using a sophisticated search engine.

2. Why is address management important?

Holding incorrect or out of date address records can lead to inefficiencies within an organisation. Mailings may not reach their destination, marketing spend can be wasted, company image may be damaged. Industry rules and regulations may also require for data held on customers to be clean and kept up to date. It is therefore imperative that data quality is maintained.

9. What is the difference between batch cleansing and rapid addressing?

Rapid addressing solutions allow users to enter only partial address elements in order to search and return a full, valid address. Reducing the time taken to enter an address can result in cost savings particularly if high volumes of addresses are being entered. Addresses are also verified with the customer before being entered into the database.

Batch cleansing solutions verify address records after they have been entered, however if an address is incomplete and inadequate information has been entered, the batch solution may not be able to verify the address.
