Melissa Data Announces Multi-platform Capabilities to Canadian Address Object

Customers can validate, correct and standardize addresses
to CASS and SERP requirements

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. (January 30, 2007) — Melissa Data (www.MelissaData.com), a provider of data quality software and services, today announced the addition of multi-platform capabilities to the Canadian Address Object (http://www.melissadata.com/idq/canadaobject.htm), a complementary product to the company’s best-selling Data Quality Suite. The Data Quality Tools Suite, which includes Address Object, Phone Object and Name Object, empowers efficient and effective direct marketing by verifying and correcting address, phone and contact data. The Canadian Address Object is certified with the Canada Post Software Evaluation and Recognition Program (SERP) requirements. Along with the CASS™ certification for U.S. addresses, customers can validate, correct and standardize U.S. and Canadian addresses at the same time in Windows, Linux, Solaris, HPUX and AIX environments.

Mailers can use Canadian Address Object as an API in their custom batch and point-of-entry applications, or use the address verification Web service to instantly validate data entered into Web forms. Aimed at small- to mid-sized companies, but powerful enough for large enterprise corporations, businesses of all sizes can reap the benefits and monetary savings earned by preventing lost and/or misdirected mailings using the new Canadian Address Object tool. For maximum flexibility, the tool can be scaled for speed and performance since the product is a multi-threaded solution.

“Canadian Address Object is another way for our North American clients to save money with their bulk mailings,” explains Melissa Data president, Ray Melissa. “Our latest product makes mailing in North America a more direct path for businesses. Canadian Address Object allows more mail to be delivered, saves data entry time, saves time with batch mode processing and resolves inconsistencies immediately.”
