Kalido officials have announced that the latest release of the Kalido Information Engine has better data matching capabilities to support governance programs, as well as functionality for best practices for the design, development and deployment of the Kalido Information Engine. 

This release also gives users better native data governance capabilities than their last release, along with automated data matching capabilities designed to “help ease a manual and administrative burden for data stewards,” according to company officials.

It’s no secret that organizations must spend much more time and resources on keeping up with all the regulatory compliance requirements, and many have identified bad data as a significant barrier to their efforts. In response, company officials say, some have been deploying formal processes in the form of data governance programs to “ensure a business acceptable level of information quality.” 

Included in the new functionality is matching intelligence to improve rules management, candidate management, confidence calculation, process matching and survivorship management within Kalido, company officials say: “Specifically, Kalido’s new integrated matching technology will let customers de-dupe and match records from different sources to help build gold-copy master data, as well as create and maintain those mapping relationships between source and gold-copy master data.”

 

The product also lets companies use hierarchy relationships as part of a match and support complex match definitions across fields, and to use any master data element or nickname as a thesaurus and use those elements as part of a matching criterion. This release of the Kalido Information Engine is certified to run on Netezza (News - Alert) appliances. 

 

A couple months ago TMCnet reported that Netezza and Kalido announced a partnership to deliver data warehouse products in a flexible BI architecture with a low total cost of ownership. “Large enterprises now have access to Netezza coupled with Kalido’s fully governed data warehouse software,” Netezza officials said, adding that under the terms of the partnership Kalido will release a version of its Information Engine certified to run on Netezza appliances.
