Data Scrubbing ensures that your data is accurate, consistent and
correctly formatted. In other words, the process of data scrubbing (aka data
cleaning or data cleansing) gets your data ready to go to work for you.
The USPS says that 35% of all bulk mail mailed every year ends up in a postal service dumpster
due to inaccurate addressing. In addition to wasting your mailing budget, dirty data provides
a deceptively misleading map to guide your all important business decisions.
Northwest Database Services offers several data scrubbing services from full renovation and
merge/purge to simple USPS CASS, ACS and PAVE certified coding. A thorough data cleaning
typically requires any or all of the following:

Standardize Your File Format
We can also help you convert data from multiple formats into one common format
usable for reporting and analysis.
Your file should be in one of the standard industry database/mailing list file
formats so that not only can Northwest Database Services work with it easily, but
so can other data contractors, such as your mailing house or IT department as
well. Standard formatting facilitates data scrubbing processes.
Data cleaning is a necessary procedure; using the following formats will make
your data cleaning far easier. Common database file formats include: dBase III,
Microsoft Access, and FoxPro. File formats such as Excel and fixed and delimited
ASCII files are typically only used for data exchange.

Data Alignment
Data alignment picks up misplaced data, which belongs in one field, and moves
it back to the correct field. When this operation has been run, all addresses are
in the appropriate address fields, names in their proper places, etc. Even though
you may be printing out labels that look OK, sorting, querying, coding and reporting
will be inaccurate if your data isn't consistently found where it should be located.

Data Standardization
Once you data has been aligned, we will standardize the way it's written to your
file, based on industry standards or on your specific business rules. Standardized
data yields faster data cleansing procedures, too. It's your choice. You decide.
