Kalido Integrates Netrics to Boost Data Governance with Enhanced Data Matching Capabilities

Netrics Matching Platform provides new functionality for the Kalido Information
Engine
PRINCETON, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Netrics, a technology innovator that makes imperfect data perfectly usable,
today announced that it has signed an OEM agreement with Kalido to integrate the
Netrics Matching Platform with the Kalido Information Engine, further enhancing
Kalido`s data matching capabilities.

These new automated data matching functions add to Kalido`s already substantial
native data governance capabilities by improving rules management, candidate
management, confidence calculation, process matching and survivorship management
within Kalido. Specifically, the newly integrated Netrics matching technology
enables Kalido customers to:

* De-dupe and match records from different sources to help build gold-copy
master data, as well as automatically create and maintain those mapping
relationships between source and gold-copy master data.
* Use hierarchy relationships as part of a match and support complex match
definitions across fields.
* Use any master data element or nickname as a thesaurus and use those elements
as part of a matching criterion.

"We`re thrilled that Kalido has chosen Netrics` world-class data matching
technology to embed within its award-winning Kalido Information Engine," said
Stefanos Damianakis, CEO of Netrics. "The combination makes it easier than ever
for business users to get what they need: accurate, consistent, and timely
information, despite errors and inconsistencies in the source data that may have
created problems in the past."

"We selected Netrics after an exhaustive evaluation of available matching
software as they provided the best fit for integration with our current
offering," said Bill Hewitt, president and CEO of Kalido. "This OEM relationship
affords us the opportunity to deliver robust, proven matching capabilities for
data governance. The addition of Netrics into the Kalido Information Engine will
help our customers identify bad data more cost-effectively than ever before and
enable them to deliver better data governance across the enterprise."
