The aim of the Pro Web V4.5 release is to improve the QAS product offering so that it meets the demands of a market that has changed dramatically since the company’s first web product was first introduced. This has been achieved by developing improved functionality based around the latest technologies.

It greatly simplifies the task of integrating the Quick Address product into Internet browser based applications and thin-client environments.

• GBR Names Data - Will allow customers to capture a name from minimum address data entered within their browser based applications
• Address Verification on the Web - Pro Web V4.5 can also be integrated so that so that it can be used to verify a full address entered into existing address forms, rather than using minimum address information entered into prompt sets

QuickAddress for Data Migration

Rolling out new software applications and synchronizing databases can be a time-consuming, administrative nightmare. Migration is often not considered until late in the roll out of a new system which can lead to delayed project deadlines costing time, resource and money.

When merging databases, data can be incorrectly formatted, important data can be lost and project timeframes severely delayed. The risk associated to these types of problems can be high and costly to an organisation.

QuickAddress for Data Migration is a set of products, data and services that solves this headache and dramatically improve the migration process.

How QuickAddress for Data Migration works

Stage 1: Data Audit
QAS Professional Services performs a comprehensive data audit to scope out the full requirements for your migration project. QAS can also advise on appropriate formatting for databases dealing with international addresses.

Stage 2: Merging
Data is transferred from an existing database or databases into a temporary database. At this stage work can start on the cleaning and formatting the data.

Stage 3: Cleaning and formatting
QuickAddress Batch works with the merged database, verifying each address against the Royal Mail’s Postcode Address File (PAF).
