The Internet and other recent technological advances have undoubtedly streamlined the whole business process. It is much easier to manage and maintain a business online than it has ever been offline. However, with so much data at your fingertips it is essential that you are using timely and accurate data. Using inaccurate data can lead to serious financial implications, but it can also have a detrimental effect on customer relationships, marketing techniques and other factors. Data cleansing is the key to ensuring that all information you rely on is kept up to date and as accurate as possible.
The Importance Of Using Data That Is Up To Date
While it is important to you that the information on your website and in your own databases is kept up to date, there are many websites that do not abide by this same ethos. The problem, of course, is that it can be difficult to tell what is up to date and what is out of date.
Internet Data Cleansing - URL and Email data
The data cleansing service that Ultima Thule offers really can help to sort the wheat from the chaff when it comes to dependable information. In addition to standard address data we are able to cleanse internet related data utilising our specialist search systems. Once this is completed, the results are compared to any existing information and updated, deleted or appended as required.
Updating Your Databases
Regardless of the type of business you run and information you use, there is a very real chance that you use a database to store and query this information. If the information your database holds is incomplete or inaccurate you may be subject to some disastrous results. By using Ultima Thule's expert data cleansing techniques you will be able to query the data and ensure that all information contained within the database is accurate and clean.
These are some of the common problems found in business databases:
- Missing address details, particularly the post code
- Missing customer information, including name and contact details
- Outdated and, therefore, irrelevant information
- Duplicated records
- Incorrect website or email addresses for companies and individuals
- Incorrectly formatted data
Other Uses Of Data Cleansing
By comparing your records with the records we query from search engines we are able to provide you with the missing or incorrect information that you need. We can also aggregate data so if you need to add one line of data for all records, data cleansing can do that too. Alternatively, if you find it necessary to remove records containing certain details then our data cleansing systems can help with that too.
