Melissa Data Announces Total Quality Integration Toolkit

Melissa Data, a provider of data quality, contact data verification and mail management solutions, released the Total Data Quality Integration Toolkit (TDQ-IT). The TDQ-IT integrates into Microsoft’s SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS 2005/2008) to deliver data quality processes as defined by industry analysts, including data profiling, cleansing, parsing and standardization, and matching and monitoring.

“Melissa Data has leveraged the extensibility of the SSIS platform to create components that support Data Quality and master data management (MDM), including the address verification that Melissa Data is known for,” says Denise Draper, Microsoft unit manager for SSIS. “This is an excellent example of how our partners enhance the value of SSIS, allowing customers to access best-of-breed functionality seamlessly integrated with SSIS.”

Melissa Data leverages the integration capabilities inherent in Microsoft’s SSIS. Both SSIS and TDQ-IT can be employed quickly to integrate large volumes of diverse data sources with complex transformations and data cleansing for a wide variety of data quality and MDM applications. In addition TDQ-IT will provide a sharable data driven architecture, providing reusable library of transformations within Microsoft SSIS.
