Agreement increases value of service offerings
Consumer information agency Experian Nederland is going to use the software of Human Inference for further development of its series of data quality products. By adding this software, Experian expands its data quality solutions as well. The addition consists of the products HIquality Name and HIquality Identify of Human Inference.
Experian will use the software for the optimization of the move, name validation and telephone databases of the online data cleansing product Intact, but is now also capable of assisting customers in cleansing Dutch given and last names and deduplicating consumer records offline more properly. This offline cleansing process takes place in the Experian Data Center that already uses the QAS software to check and enrich address data. Recently Experian has also signed a license agreement with TPG, as a result of which the Data Center now has the TPG move database at its disposal. In the Data Center the National Register of Deceased Persons is also being put together and hosted as ordered by Stichting Infofilter.
Rory Matthews, Managing Director of Experian Nederland: 'We deliver the best possible data to our customers. By adding the software of Human Inference, we offer even more specific data. The enrichment by means of the Human Inference software makes it even more easy for our combined customers to work with the right data in a cost-effective manner.'
Hugo Verwijs, CEO of Human Inference: 'Experian is renowned for delivering reliable data. We are, therefore, very happy with this agreement. Our customers ask for a simple integration with data suppliers worldwide and Experian is an excellent example.'
