Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server

The Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server is an address standardization application that provides capabilities to parse, standardize, transliterate, duplicate, and validate address data, resulting in improved address data quality. The validation capability requires the licensing of appropriate postal directories for the countries where address validation is required.

The Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server uses a licensed version of the third-party software, IIR, for data cleansing.

Features of Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server are:

  • Integrated single API supporting all countries:

    Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server lets you use a single API for all countries, so that you can start working immediately and add countries without the need for additional programming. The API is compatible with all major programming languages.

  • Advanced validation, and correction of worldwide postal addresses, including address coverage for more than 240 countries:

    Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server matches and corrects all address data, filters out superfluous information, assesses deliverability, and generates a detailed report with suggestions for possible sources of address problems.

  • Parsing and standardization:

    Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server parses both structured and unstructured data, identifies residues, and formats and standardizes the data (without the need for payment of special data license fees).

  • Convenient updating:

    Postal reference tables in many countries change frequently. Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server has arrangements with many local postal organizations (including Informatica Address Doctor) that allows you to receive monthly, quarterly, or biannual updates. Reference tables for each country are provided in a separate, operating system-independent database that is easy to update from a CD, DVD, or by downloading over the Internet.

The Universal Connector is integrated with the Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server for data cleansing.
