Stream releases new address certification, verification, cleansing, and enrichment for enterprise data management

TORONTO--Stream Integration and Canada Post formed a new strategic partnership to deliver enterprise solutions for address data certification, verification, cleansing, and enrichment. The new software brings Canada Post's market-leading AddressComplete address validation tool together with Stream Integration's StreamClean capabilities. The StreamClean Powered By AddressComplete software seamlessly integrates the AddressComplete capabilities into IBM's InfoSphere products worldwide. Customers can now dramatically improve the quality of, and confidence in, their global enterprise data with a simple plugin to their new or existing InfoSphere-based applications.

"The cost of bad or missing data varies by industry, enterprise, and application. However, everyone agrees that it is a cost, and remediation is much more expensive than getting the data right in the beginning," said Mark Rowan, CEO of Stream Integration. "Our partnership with Canada Post now provides IBM customers in several countries with a powerful yet easy-to-use solution that improves the quality of their global data at any point in a data management process and increases their confidence in the validity of that data."

"The AddressComplete address validation tool improves the customer experience, operational efficiencies, and marketing ROI," says Alexis Zamkow, General Manager, Data Products at Canada Post. "This partnership will allow more companies to access our world-class international address data and turn addressing into their competitive advantage." StreamClean powered by AddressComplete leverages Canada Post's address expertise to serve up highly intuitive address verification matches in subseconds, meeting the speed and accuracy requirements to support today's Big Data environments.
