New knowledge base for international customer data quality - Deutsche Post Adress starts address maintenance portal

Deutsche Post Adress is starting a unique online portal of its kind involving the data quality of international address records. At www.postadressglobal.com, Europe-wide or even worldwide operating businesses can find valuable information on maintaining customer data.

The heart of the new website is a knowledge database with detailed information on address management in the individual countries. This is how users can find out how to structure the postal address in the respective country correctly, which data protection regulations they must consider and which specific address maintenance solutions are available for ensuring data quality.

How do businesses update their American customer addresses? Which databases are available in France for postal address corrections? With which marketing-relevant information can one enrich British business addresses? The answers to these and many other questions on data quality are supplied by the new portal's knowledge database.

postadressglobal.com starts in an English and German-language version and with information on ten countries including the USA, Great Britain, Germany and France. Address management tips on other states will be added in the next months.

Using POSTADRESS GLOBAL, businesses can allow the quality of their customer data to be checked. The full check – including if data is up-to-date and available for delivery – is free of charge for lots of countries.

POSTADRESS GLOBAL is the international unit of the address maintenance specialists, Deutsche Post Adress, and provides formatting, correction, update, clearing, enrichment and maintenance of international address data through a worldwide partner network.
"Our customers receive individual solutions on address data quality for almost countries on earth from one source", explains Dr. Frank Schlein, Managing Director of Deutsche Post Adress. "Accordingly, we want to give interested companies the most important information on address management at a glance with our new portal."

Schlein views the new website as a logical step in the development of the POSTADRESS GLOBAL unit for customer requirement orientated solution providers: "We offer our customers integrated concepts for ensuring data quality in the increasingly complex world of address management – from address maintenance and IT integration through to consulting – and prepare sustainable data quality concepts, such as in workshops for example. This is how the new POSTADRESS GLOBAL portal should also allow an integrated view of the issue of "customer data quality" and sharpen awareness of the high value clean and current customer addresses has for businesses."

Should, despite the level of information, a question remain unanswered, companies can contact the POSTADRESS GLOBAL team directly through the website. The address specialists are pleased to answer all questions on international data quality in German, English and French.
