Practical International Data Management - a guide to working with global names and addresses Published: October 2001 New data collection methods, such as the Internet; the globalization of economies and improving computer hardware and software are allowing companies to collect information about their customers and prospects in ever greater quantities and from increasingly further afield. Managing this data brings with it a whole raft of practical issues which most companies are unaware of and which, if ignored, are expensive and time-consuming to correct. This book details the problems that a company collecting and managing international names and addresses are likely to encounter, and suggests, where available, solutions and ways of preventing the problems arising. Topics tackled include database structure and data format, data cleaning and standardisation, language issues, personal name and address component management and de-duplication.

Better data quality from your web form - Effective international name and address Internet data collection Published: April 2009 Web forms are a source of immense and continuous frustration for many people as the forms almost universally fail to take any account of variations in personal name and addressing conventions used throughout the world, so that customers have to struggle to clear the hurdles placed in their way by the forms. Reports suggest that almost 9 out of 10 customers have problems when attempting to carry out online transactions, and the result is a huge loss of income from lost custom paired with the collection of very poor quality data. This e-book (in Acrobat pdf format), which is free to download and use, attempts to fill the gap left by most works about usability by concentrating on the experience that your international customers have with your form, and how it affects them, their relationship with you and your data quality. This has been done using many examples and without going into too much depth about the idiosyncrasies of international personal names and addresses, and avoids technical discussions – links to get more information are provided where appropriate in the text.
