Universal Addressing Module

Improve accuracy in real-time and batch processing

Address data exists throughout your enterprise – in customer databases, call centers, Web sites and marketing systems. Companies that capture address information via the Web or interact with customers in a call center environment must ensure address accuracy in real-time. Reliable address information is required to communicate effectively with your customers, develop an accurate single customer view and leverage your customer-facing technology investments. In addition, accurate information enables organizations to ensure the deliverability of goods and services, personalize customer communications and identify and eliminate related or duplicate records from marketing campaigns.

The Universal Addressing Module for the Spectrum Technology Platform is a sophisticated Java-based application that provides address validation, correction and standardization technologies for the United States, Canada and over 220 countries and dependencies worldwide. With the increasing need to ensure data quality in real-time in mission-critical applications, the Universal Addressing solution allows organizations to quickly and easily integrate this important functionality into their operating environments.
