One of the main technological capabilities of a data quality management tool is unification of any number of records that contain the same content.

iWay DQC enables data integration from different sources by analyzing the content, applying cleansing rules, and validating data against specified dictionaries. The processed data can then be unified using the iWay DQC hierarchical unification methods.

The process also enables associative pairing, even when different identification key structures exist. Associative pairing includes partially complete records. A single identification key is not required.

When data quality is poor or when insufficient information about the identification key affects unification results, iWay DQC explicitly marks records to allow for manual correction.
