Initiate Systems Teams With Pitney Bowes Group 1 Software
Initiate Systems, Inc., and Group 1 Software, Inc., a Pitney Bowes company [NYSE: PBI], have announced a strategic alliance to jointly market a master data management (MDM) solution. This solution will comprise the Initiate Master Data Service™ Platform for accurate matching and linking of data and Pitney Bowes’ Group 1 customer data quality (CDQ) platform with third party reference data for up-to-date names, addresses and other data.
The combined solution improves the overall value of customer data integration (CDI) and MDM initiatives.
"Combining Pitney Bowes Group 1 Software’s CDQ platform and Initiate Systems’ high-performance, matching and linking software will provide a complete, end-to-end MDM solution for companies seeking to sharpen their business decisions and deepen their customer relationships," said Christopher Baker, president of Pitney Bowes Group 1 Software. "Improving data quality, integration and management across the enterprise can have an immediate impact on the bottom line."
Initiate Systems’ President and CEO Bill Conroy said interoperability between the Initiate Master Data Service integration platform and Pitney Bowes’ Group 1 Software CDQ data platform can accelerate the deployment of an integrated MDM solution and the realization of business value from such a project.
"The combined offering will help businesses validate, standardize and augment all of their customer data so it becomes high-value information," Conroy said. "It provides access to accurate and complete views of customer information, inside the firewall, in real-time, regardless of the size of the enterprise."
