“Informatica Data Quality helps transform Condé Nast from a ‘data as a nuisance’ company to a ‘data as an asset’ company.”
— Justin Glatz, Director of Business Intelligence, Condé Nast
Business Need
A shift to Internet-based content, coupled with more subscribers choosing mobile platforms, is providing new revenue opportunities—but it has resulted in a fragmented set of audiences. On-line and print customer data was scattered across multiple systems.
To sell content to these omnichannel audiences, Condé Nast needed to understand who the content subscribers were, their preferences, location, and behavior.
Challenges
The company was challenged to improve the quality of customer address data, remove duplicate postal addresses, and apply geo-coordinates to address data.
This process needed to run frequently in order to match customers across different Condé Nast publications, match on-line customers with print customers and identify their geo-location.
