    copied!<p>Each of the major software companies that are active in this space offer solution suites that handle name and address parsing, data standardization, record deduplication or matching, record linking/merging, survivorship, and so on. They're all a bit pricey, though.</p> <p>For example, Oracle's own solution for this problem is the product "<a href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oracle-data-quality/index.html" rel="noreferrer">Oracle Data Quality (ODQ) for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)</a>," which is part of their Fusion Middleware stack. As the name implies, ODQ requires ODI (i.e., it is an add-on module that is licensed separately and is dependent on ODI).</p> <p>IBM's Websphere solution suite (obtained through their Ascential acquisition) includes <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/integration/qualitystage/" rel="noreferrer">QualityStage</a>.</p> <p>Business Objects, now an SAP company, has a <a href="http://www.businessobjects.com/product/im/data_quality.asp" rel="noreferrer">Data Quality</a> product under its Enterprise Information Management (EIM) suite.</p> <p>Other major data quality brands include <a href="http://dataflux.com/" rel="noreferrer">Dataflux</a> (a SAS company) and <a href="http://www.trilliumsoftware.com/" rel="noreferrer">Trillium Software</a> (a Harte-Hanks company)</p> <p>The Gartner Group releases an annual Magic Quadrant for data quality solution suites. Vendors who rate well in these Magic Quadrants usually make the entire report available online to registered users on their website (<a href="http://www.dataflux.com/resources/resource.asp?rid=232" rel="noreferrer">example 1</a>, <a href="https://www.informatica-news.com/eMarketing_enu/start.swe?CID=1-M7JU8R&amp;SWEMethod=ShowWebOffer&amp;SWECmd=InvokeMethod&amp;OID=1-M7JU89&amp;SWENargs=OID%3D1-M7JU89,CID%3D1-M7JU8R,COID%3D,CON%3D1-4JZ&amp;_sn=wcehStzu3UxWDnNOIFWlzQNEl8V-xZegOOQI6J1.n2Y_&amp;SWEView=URLRouter3&amp;SWEHo=www.informatica-news.com&amp;SWETS=1221112966&amp;SWEApplet=OfferRoute&amp;CON=1-4JZ" rel="noreferrer">example 2</a>).</p>
