Improving Ability of Government Agencies to Leverage Data for Decision Making
Government agencies have to rely on data more now than ever before. This data often is in disparate systems, of dubious quality and of an inconsistent format. Furthermore, inter- and intra-agency data exchange has not only been mandated, but is often required for successful operational execution.
TeraMatch® can be used by government agencies to improve data quality, match data that normally requires manual inspection and consolidate any number of distributed and inconsistent inter- / intra-agency data sources. These capabilities can dramatically improve the ability for agencies to leverage data for decision making and discovering patterns and information that previously required a labor-intensive manual effort.
Government agencies can benefit from using TeraMatch® by:
- Improving inter- / intra-agency data exchange
- Fuzzy matching records to find individuals who make minor changes to their information in an attempt to escape detection
- Discriminating real matches from false positives
- Integrating multiple sources of data to provide a holistic profile
- Identifying data errors and flagging them for detection
- Adjusting the sensitivity of matching to flag records as matches, possible matches or not matches
- Improving staff efficiency by focusing on analysis rather than data comparison
