SDQ Matching Server

The Matching Server provides an embedded matching engine that identifies potential duplicate data within existing accounts, contacts, and prospects in the Siebel CRM transactional database.

The Matching Server uses embedded SSA-NAME3 software from Identity Systems. The SSA-NAME3 DLLs (Windows) or shared libraries (UNIX) are embedded in Siebel Business Applications and are installed with Siebel Software Installers for Windows and UNIX operating systems. The Matching Server does not require additional third-party software installations to function.

The Matching Server works across the languages and operating systems supported by Siebel Business Applications. There are different DLLs or shared libraries containing the matching rules for different countries and languages. The term population is used for such a set of matching rules.
