1. If we are not using Quality Stage for matching,
2. and the Address Data of the Customer is already well organized into different fields like Street, External Number, Interior Number, Colony, City, State , etc( where the data for one field say street will not be mis-placed in another field, say, external number/Colony)
3. and the client requirement is to see all the data together as one single address line
Do we really need intervention of Quality Stage in between DataStage and Customer Data Integration Hub?
If yes, what are the features of QualityStage which can be utilized yet?
Usage of Quality Stage if data is already classified

Consolidating all available information about the one customer into a single "best of breed" customer record is what QualityStage is about, but of course that implies that you do some form of matching between potentially duplicate customer records.

But if you are assembling name and address data from multiple records the only matching you can do without QualityStage is exact matching. This may miss some probable duplicates.

Do a bit of QS matching and show them how it would do a better job.divstands wrote:yeah Ray
I agree with you. But certain unavoidable managerial stuff dont allow me to use matching!
