Challenges

  • Reduce duplicate mailings
  • Eliminate database redundancies and errors in three languages
  • Standardize addresses from multiple countries
The Informatica identity resolution technology provides the best results for discovering duplicates. Also, it is the best tool when planning the size of the mailing campaigns, such as new customer mailings to a specific target audience.
