Globalization is no longer just a buzz word. Virtually every business now operates in multiple markets, and works with suppliers, distributors, and customers spread across the world.
Globalization brings another level of complexity to the challenges of data consistency. Businesses need to deal with multiple character sets, and names which may not have standard spellings when transliterated to foreign characters. Customer service operators have to work with clients who may not be native speakers of the language being spoken, and themselves may be used to different accents or dialects. Differing cultural norms in the way addresses or other information is represented increase the chance for mis-fielding or misinterpreting key information. In such environments, the likelihood of introducing errors or variations into critical business data increases enormously.
Many advanced matching technologies have inherent limitations that restrict their ability to work in foreign or multi-language environments. Some matching algorithms work only with a very narrow scope. For example, Soundex is based on the English pronunciation of names. Probabilistic rule sets developed for one culture may not function appropriately in a different culture.
But the Netrics Matching Platform™ is different. Its patented matching algorithm is inherently language, culture and domain independent, and looks for underlying patterns regardless of the native character set. Netrics provides full Unicode support, which means it can operate with virtually any data set.
