Identity Systems shows upgraded identity search-and-match solution

Published 18 January 2006

Businesses are becoming more aware of the need to know exactly who their clients, suppliers, and employees are, so the upgrade to an already-popular search and identify solution will be welcomed

Old Greenwich, Connecticut-based Identity Systems, an Intellisync (NASDAQ: SYNC) company and a worldwide presence in identity searching and matching technology, is showing its Identity Search Server (ISS) V2.6, a major upgrade in the company’s solutions for identity searching, screening, matching, and duplicate discovery across the enterprise. The latest version offers users an HTTP server which eliminates development requirements and eases the installation and maintenance process for system administrators, includes transparent Siebel integration with CRM software from Siebel Systems and offers greater local control over matching logic. Through the addition of an HTTP server, standard Web browsers can now act as search clients, allowing the administrator to implement the system across the enterprise without additional coding. Meanwhile, the Siebel connector extension enables ISS V2.6 to extract, synchronize, and search data stored in a Siebel CRM application. The new feature enhancement of the Population Override Manager also gives the system administrator the ability to adjust and control searching and matching rules.

These enhancements are important, and in keeping with the growing awareness of more and more businesses with the need to make sure that they know more about their clients, suppliers, and employees. Identity Search Server may be the complete solution for identity searching, screening, matching, and duplicate discovery across the enterprise for most businesses. It does not require programming or changes to existing database tables, yet it provides high-quality search, matching, duplicate discovery, and relationship linking for all forms of identification data. Note that ISS is used with existing databases or to construct new databases or repositories. The company claims that it overcomes the variation, spelling, keying, and word sequence errors in names, addresses, and identity data — regardless of country, language, or character set. Aliases, compound names, dates of birth, prior addresses, multiple identities, and phone numbers are supported.
