DTM Enables Work on Multiple Database Tables Simultaneously

DataFlux Corporation, a SAS company and leader in the development of data management solutions that increase the accuracy and usability of enterprise-wide database assets, announced the availability of dfPower Studio version 4.3. The latest version of DataFlux's popular data quality software features a Data Transformation and Merge (DTM) enhancement. DTM enables users to work on multiple database tables simultaneously regardless of the type of database system. The software combines data from disparate sources by a strategic application of proprietary parsing, standardization, and matching routines. The results are then written to either a newly created merged table, to one of the existing tables, or to a text file report. This powerful data merge functionality enables Information Technology as well as Business Analyst personnel to work effectively with large quantities of data from a variety of disparate sources using a simple point-and-click process.

Tony Fisher, DataFlux president said, "DataFlux is committed to providing our customers with the most powerful, and easy-to-use data quality management tools on the market today. The addition of the Data Transformation and Merge enhancement to dfPower Studio is another giant step on the road toward a seamless process for managing and integrating critical data assets."

Other new enhancements to dfPower Studio including:

• Email Match Type -- Can be used to match potentially duplicate email addresses
• Improved Date Match Type -- Greatly enhanced functionality enabling matching on date fields of any formats

• Merge Standardization Schemes -- Ability to combine multiple schemes and apply them as a merged scheme, allowing the user to build schemes for separate data analysis reports and combine them for use on a more enterprise-wide level
• Generate SQL -- Provides capabilities to generate and export SQL for appending match codes or eliminating duplicates in a data source
• Improved Duplicate Elimination Options -- More flexible options for processing duplicate records, which allow the user to mark individual records in a cluster as non-matches and the ability to split match clusters
