Novodata uses MerlinMerge® SpeedPro software to identify duplicate vendor, customer and other records in legacy data

MerlinMerge ® is best in class de-duplication software. It achieves unparalleled accuracy and speed while overcoming variations due to many common errors found in data. For example:

• Acronyms: Corporate name searching concretely illustrates the pragmatic difficulties in developing solutions that find correct information without missing likely candidates. People readily understand the similarities between “Triple A Towing” and “AAA towing” yet computerized systems would need to employ a knowledge based algorithm to recognize the relationship between ‘Triple A’ and ‘AAA’. The MerlingMerge SpeedPro software with its corporate search algorithms and acronym recognition functions significantly advances the ability to seek and match corporate name data.

• Spelling errors: Spelling and keyboard errors account for many of the duplicates found in a database. Through the use of intelligent key building and advanced comparison routines, MerlinMerge SpeedPro successfully overcomes spelling errors including multiple typos, letter transpositions and incomplete words.

• Phonetic Errors: Discrepancies caused by phonetic errors account for 20 – 25% of all name variations. MerlinMerge SpeedPro addresses problems due to phonetics by employing analysis routines to determine the extent of phonetic tokenization. This enables MerlinMerge SpeedPro to overcome problems due to phonetics without the negative consequences incurred with all other methods of name searching.

• Word Sequence Variations: Many search problems are caused by sequence variations. The inability to determine the order of words for a particular entity occurs at both data entry and inquiry levels. The name Frank Lee, for example, could have been Lee Frank. This problem is particularly pervasive in company names. MerlinMerge SpeedPro is able to overcome word sequence variations without sacrificing performance.

• Missing, Extra and Noise Words: The rulebase system is used to identify noise words. Noise words are elements in a name that do not help in the identification of a candidate. Examples of noise words are: “incorporated”, “Corporation”, ‘Limited”, “Senior”, “Junior”, “Avenue” and “Street”. While processing the data, MerlinMerge® SpeedPro also goes through a process called sanitization that removes noise characters (e.g. @,#,$,%,^,&, etc…), extra spaces, control characters and converts all characters into uppercase.
