How does merge purge increase operational efficiency?

When organizations have effective data merge and purge strategies in place, it helps them to plan efficient utilization of technology, resources, workforce, and business processes

DEFINiTION

What is merge and purge?

A merge purge software screens all data records residing across multiple data sources, recognizes duplicate records, and allows you to build survivorship rules that automatically merge or remove duplicates.

As the average enterprise uses 65+ different data sources to store entity records relating to customers, vendors, or products, a merge purge software can add huge value to the process of creating a single source of truth for your organization.

Features

What DME’s merge purge software can do for you?

In-built data profiling, cleansing and deduplication

DME allows you to prepare your data before merging or overwriting it. This includes achieving a clean and standardized view across all datasets, and using advanced deduplication algorithms to highlight records similar to each other, and uses this output to make merge purge decisions.

Rules configuration for master record selection

By default, DME automatically selects the master record for every duplicate group. But if needed, you can override this selection by defining a set of customizable rules and choosing the master record depending on a data source or based on a field that qualifies a certain operation (such as the longest, shortest, maximum, minimum, or the most frequent value).

Rules configuration for overwriting records

DME allows you to overwrite data from a record to its duplicates, ensuring maximum data enrichment before exporting the golden record. You can achieve this by choosing to overwrite from a specific data source or a qualified value, or merging all values together to prevent data loss.

Conditional overwriting

Execute the configured rules conditionally and control merge purge operations by overwriting only in the absence or presence of blank values, or when certain records are flagged as duplicates, and more.
