Rancho Santa Margarita, CALIF – December 16, 2014 – Melissa Data, a leading provider of contact data quality and address management solutions, today recognized 2014 as a milestone year for company partnerships in both its direct mail and data quality divisions. By working with leaders in ecommerce, data integration and comprehensive mailing solutions, Melissa Data has cemented strategic alliances that further expand its customer base worldwide. Essential to the company’s growth strategy, Melissa Data’s technology relationships are designed to fuel data quality as a central business process integrated into the earliest stages of master data operations.

“As the world recognizes the scope and value of data as a business asset, Melissa Data’s global perspective on contact data quality has increasing impact. By providing sophisticated data quality that is simple to deploy, we’re enabling businesses worldwide to embrace the competitive value of correct, validated customer information,” said Ray Melissa, CEO, Melissa Data. “Collaborating with other technology leaders is essential in these efforts, and 2014 saw some of our most significant partnerships to date. Working closely with key partners, we’re building existing business, growing in new markets, and seeing a greater understanding of data quality as the foundation for optimized master data systems.”

Melissa Data’s newest direct mail partnerships include Deutsche Post and Royal Mail, integrating global address verification and geocoding into their existing solutions and customer base. Melissa Data is one of only a handful of vendors licensed by Canada Post to provide Canadian NCOA (National Change of Address) processing so mailers can reach customers in both Canada and the U.S.

In the data quality realm, Melissa Data partnered with EXTOL International to enable seamless data quality operations in tandem with EDI. The company’s alliance with Scribe Software uniquely enables cleansing, validating and enhancing customer information in a single integration as data moves between CRM, ERP and marketing automation applications. Melissa Data’s relationship with Semarchy unites data quality and master data operations; Semarchy users have a fast and easy method for consolidating unstructured data sources and enriching master data, while Melissa Data customers have a strategic path to upgrade data quality projects into more comprehensive data governance initiatives. Melissa Data has increased its already deep support for developers by aligning with Varigence, incorporating data quality in Varigence’s business intelligence accelerator tools based on Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml).

Building data quality into ecommerce applications has also been a priority; by working with NetzTurm GmbH and Crafty Clicks, service providers for the implementation of online stores, Melissa Data has enabled plug-in data quality for users of Shopware and Magento-based ecommerce sites. Support for additional ecommerce platforms is imminent, enabling a greater number of online merchants to verify and correct addresses as they are entered, validating information from more than 240 countries and territories in real-time.

Earlier this year, Melissa Data also partnered with Blu Sky to solve healthcare data management challenges; data quality tools are now integrated into Blu Sky’s EpicCare data capture technologies used to administer medical groups, hospitals and integrated healthcare organizations. Furthering its role in healthcare data quality initiatives, Melissa Data has also partnered with TriZetto, integrating data quality into software solutions that support nearly a quarter million doctors and healthcare providers under 350 different healthcare plans nationwide. Melissa Data’s recent alliance with V3Gate expands public sector market dramatically, while enhancing V3Gate’s big data capabilities with integrated data quality tools and solutions. Together the two firms are actively targeting business growth in federal, state and local government sectors, offering cutting-edge IT solutions that support high-level public agencies in achieving their diverse missions.
