Experts Have Developed the Ultimate Machine-Learning Reference Source for B2B Information.

Unreliable data is the biggest challenge facing go-to-market and operations teams. A significant hurdle to building reliable data which avoids duplicates while guaranteeing accuracy and coverage, is data matching when entities must merge together.

In data science, a ‘match’ is only as good as the reference set being used to render it. If a match gets recorded against an inaccurate reference set, then major gaps in business insights arise.

Data vendors have historically matched accounts using a traditional approach called ‘fuzzy matching’. However, there is a new innovation powered by machine-learning and natural language processing technology that is completely revolutionizing the way businesses organize and leverage data across the company.
