InfoLink Data Quality

Deliver accurate and reliable data across all your projects and initiatives

Find and Fix Data Quality Problems
to Maximize Your Return on Data

Regardless of your initiatives whether it is analytics, data integration, MDM, or application integration, your data need to be trusted. Without a data quality program and tools in place, you face:

Unreliable analytics: The business value you glean from your analytics is only as reliable as the data feeding your dashboards, which impacts operations, planning, projections, and ultimately your bottom line
Wasted resources: Data errors impact operations by incurring higher costs resulting in lost revenue (e.g., when a package is shipped to the wrong address)
Damaged customer reputation: Your reputation with customers, prospects, partners, or suppliers can be damaged, sometimes irreversibly, if the wrong data reaches the wrong audience
Regulatory fines: Inaccurate regulatory reporting can result in fines from regulations such as CCAR, BCBS239, and GDPR

Powerful Discovery and Data Profiling

Provides a complete and accurate view of your data assets, uncovering hidden issues in content, structure, rules, relationships, and quality. Analyzes data at field and column levels to identify irregularities, broken filters, misaligned relationships, and defects without designing samples or running queries.

Comprehensive Cleaning Toolkit for Every Task

InfoLink offers a comprehensive suite of operations for implementing data cleaning scenarios across all data types. It includes rule-based validation, format-specific and general-purpose regex parsing, robust standardization with an extensive function library, and creation of custom standardization functions.

Advanced Matching Technology

Identify and merge duplicate records for entities like customers, products, and locations using deterministic or fuzzy matching rules with flexible survivorship criteria. Two-source matching allows linking data sets that are not referenced via identifiers by matching field values. Use phonetic and other sophisticated algorithms to uncover hidden relationships in your data.

External Data Enrichment & Validation

Integration with leading 3rd party data providers such as Dun & Bradstreet, Melissa Data, SAP Data Services, and others allows you to validate and standardize addresses, run geocoding, augment your existing data with contact information, firmographics, demographics, consumer insights.

Real-time Data Quality

Prevent bad data from entering your systems. Publish any InfoLink scenario as a web service with API access to enable real-time data validation and cleaning, duplicate matching, and data enrichment at the point of entry in real time.

Data Masking

Consistently mask data, create data for test environments, and transfer anonymized data to the cloud. Our smart engine preserves data quality and characteristics.

User-friendly Steward UIs (Pre-built and Custom)

Review the outcomes of automated processes and manually resolve issues that can't be fixed automatically. With pre-built UIs, easily correct records that fail validation rules, merge duplicates, link datasets without explicit references, and manage reference data. Use our UI builder to quickly create new interfaces to support your custom workflows.
