Software
AG’s webMethods OneData master data management solution to integrate Loqate’s
address verification technology
Software AG, a global leader in business processes,
integration and big data, today announced a new partnership with Loqate, a
leader in international address verification, which will provide powerful
address validation and geocoding capabilities to business processes, services
applications and business intelligence systems. Software AG will offer and
support the Loqate Engine as an integrated component of webMethods
OneData, the company’s master data management (MDM) platform.
“In today’s expanding
digital enterprise, having the highest quality data possible to drive business
processes and analytics isn’t just a best practice, it’s a necessity,” said Jay Johnson, President & CEO, Software AG
North America and member of the Group Executive Board. “Loqate’s address validation and geocoding
technologies provide another layer of richness to refine existing and captured
datasets. This in turn lets our customers unlock new data potentials to drive
more efficient and effective business processes.”
By combining the
Loqate Engine with Software AG’s Integration platform and solutions, customers
will now have a higher level of data quality with Loqate’s address capture,
verification and geocoding technologies.
In addition to
enriching data by providing missing attributes such as postal codes,
integrating Loqate’s technology with Software AG will provide customers with
solutions to help refine and cleanse disparate geolocation data and to
automatically normalize data to enhance matching operations (e.g. “New Jersey”
to “NJ”).
“Address data is an
asset that drives business processes in almost every business function,” said
Martin Turvey, President and CEO, Loqate. “Cleaner data drives better location
intelligence and ultimately, leads to more informed and accurate business
decisions, affecting the bottom line.”
With the integration
of Loqate technology into Software AG’s product portfolio, customers will be
able to purchase it as part of Software AG’s MDM solution and support will be
provided by Software AG.
