Data Quality Software

The Software Bureau is recognised as being in the forefront of innovative data quality software. Whether you are a bureau, mailing house, end user, charity or simply any data owner or processor Cygnus can be scaled to your data needs and is integrated within many of the UK’s leading organisations.

At the Software Bureau we believe in best practice, and clean data should be at the heart of every campaign or database. Cygnus was initially developed for data cleaning within the mailing house industry over ten years ago. Part of the brief to design Cygnus was to ensure it was easy and straightforward to use, yet powerful enough to process a few records or many millions to tight deadlines. Another “must” was that any data file or processing stayed within a job and data did not have to be exported and re-imported into another module or job for further processing. Since its birth Cygnus has been constantly refined and developed to cater for the ever increasing complex requirements of the data industry.

Recent client driven developments include a module to incorporate Downstream Access Sortation (DSA) from TNT, UK Mail and DHL. This allows DSA Sortation to be selected within the Cygnus environment. Another example of client driven development and a UK first is the Embedded Suppression module (ES). We have enabled users to have direct access to eight of the UK’s leading suppression files. This allows Cygnus clients to use these suppression files, and access them within the Cygnus environment without having to enter into any contractual arrangement or incur costs associated with a direct relationship with the data owners. Whether you are a mailing house or end user, this is the ideal solution for cleaning and consolidating databases or reselling data cleaning services. As the management of royalty payments is automated, the ES module is a simple and highly cost effective way to manage your suppression processing.
