NEVER AGAIN RE-KEY LEGACY DATA:

Valuable for extracting data from legacy processes or those where data can only be exported as printed reports. Reads ASCII and EBCDIC.

addresses into components, genderize names, etc. can generate Soundex and perform

intelligent DeDuplication.

Restructure names into different element sequence (e.g. from "phonebook"

format to "mailing list" format including elimination of noise words like

"fax line" or "residence"). Generate titles (Mr, Ms. etc) from first

names.

Convert addresses into standard (user defined) formats.

Automatically recognize and extract URL or EMail addresses from input

records.

with intelligent handling of capitalization exceptions like McDonald,

scientific to decimal, hex or scientific notation.
