Product Information

Address Standardization: Our enterprise software  performs address validation and standardization on all computer platforms: Mainframe, Mid-range (UNIX, AS/400, etc.) and NT. Batch process data or call the software into your applications for real-time address validation. 

We also have software for a smaller, yet very effective Address Standardization Solution. Though less expensive than our enterprise level solution, it is true 32-bit Windows software. This software is available for the single-user Windows PC or the entire network. Batch process data or call it into every major Windows database and development environment--including Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, Delphi, C/C++, Access, FoxPro and more.  Includes an optional interface with Word or WordPerfect: type in the address, highlight it, then click the icon to correct the address.

Both of the above products are Coding Accuracy Support Service [CASS] Certified by the USPS. See how you can save money via postal discounts for using these solutions by going to our Postal Automation Software page.

Other Name & Address Solutions:  

Your requirements for managing your Name and Address Data may go beyond Address Validation. Summit provides modules for many Database Management functions. The overall solution is typically interconnected; however, the modular approach allows the user to pay only for the functions they require. Below is a sampling of a functions most frequently required. Others are available, so ask if it isn't here. Also, custom solutions can be developed for most environments by Summit Professional Services Staff. Most solutions reside and run on all computer platforms:

• Parsing and File Conversion: Are you managing a Data Warehousing or Data Conversion Project? Does some or all of your data reside in a run on format or non-standard format (i.e., not separated into fields or delimited in some standard way)? We can provide tools to parse name and address elements and convert the data into the required file format.

• Duplicate Identification and Elimination:  Identify duplicates within one or across multiple files--simultaneously? Eliminate duplicates, merge data and more. Match on name, name and address, some other pertinent data--or create custom match codes which use a combination of matching criteria. Batch process or run interactively with your Data Entry Applications to prevent duplications on the front side.

• Gender Coding:  Append gender codes to personalize communications with the correct salutation. Includes a comprehensive library of names and root name
