Server Side Replacement Enables Smooth Data Quality Conversion; Minimizes Need for Recoding Existing Applications


RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 26, 2014) - Melissa Data, a leading provider of contact data quality and data integration solutions, today announced it will provide end-of-life options for customers using SAP's PostalSoft ACE program, an address correction engine designated end-of-life on March 31, 2015. Melissa Data offers a compelling alternative, enabling fast, seamless conversion with its server side replacement solution; Melissa Data's Address Object drops in with minimal changes to existing applications.

"Effectively converting from legacy ACE platforms requires a trusted global leader, offering capabilities proven with thousands of customers worldwide and based on extensive understanding of the mailing industry," said Ray Melissa, president and CEO, Melissa Data. "We are well underway in transitioning data quality systems for a number of PostalSoft customers -- meeting this challenge by capitalizing on our nearly 30 years of software development expertise and deep domain knowledge of address correction issues, strategies and technologies."
