Software to find and delete duplicates

Do you work with data? For example, in marketing with address lists? Then you have probably already been annoyed by the fact that the quality of your data is not as good as it could be in most cases. For example, they often contain duplicate entries that are difficult to identify, especially if they are the names of companies or people. Or you are faced with the problem of having to merge data from different sources. Then take a look at the following products:

• DedupeWizard 8: A simple software that can be used without any special technical knowledge to search for duplicates in Excel using the telephone number, the email address and/or the postal address. The doublet search can be carried out within one address list or between two address lists, such as a black lists.

• DataQualityTools 8: Compared to DedupeWizard, DataQualityTools offers additional options to search for duplicates and a whole series of functions to prepare addresses, such as a function to split and merge data fields. In addition to Excel files, the program can also process dBase, ACCESS, VistaDB, and text files as well as database servers such as MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, ORACLE and MySQL.

• BatchDeduplicator 8: BatchDeduplicator contains essentially the same functions used to search for duplicates as DataQualityTools. Just like with DataQualityTools, several million records can generally be processed without any problems. Using this software, projects can be provided with a time of execution and started at regular intervals, for example, every Thursday at 2 pm.
