IQ Matcher is a high performance record-matching engine that standardises, matches, cleanses and integrates customer, marketing and organisational data from multiple sources and/or detects and corrects duplicate information within a data source. Designed specifically for large-scale databases, IQ Matcher enables the integration of enterprise-wide data, whilst also providing the means to quickly and accurately integrate data in real time across many data sources.
