Pitney Bowes Group 1 Software

LANHAM, MD (November 20, 2007)–Group 1 Software, Inc., a Pitney Bowes Company (NYSE: PBI), today introduced Profiler Plus, an automated data profiling and analysis solution that enables fast, accurate and detailed understanding of data.

Profiler Plus helps enterprises create a comprehensive picture of the quality of their data up to 90 percent faster than traditional approaches. Its comprehensive data profiling features and integrated analysis management framework reduce IT project risks with automated, up-front analysis. This powerful tool also simplifies analysis activities through an integrated management platform, so an organization can be more confident about the quality of their data.

“Different stakeholders often have different perspectives on the state of their data, resulting in incorrect assumptions, unexpected delays, and conflicting requirements. In addition, the outputs of data analysis are typically captured across a myriad of spreadsheets, emails, and ad hoc databases, creating management overheads and increased risk of key information being lost,” said Jay Bourland, vice president and general manager of Customer Data Quality and Data Integration for Group 1 Software. “Profiler Plus addresses these problems by integrating profile results, analysis findings, and management reporting in one convenient place, using a single tool. The result is a faster, more accurate analysis and more affordable method for analyzing and evaluating the quality of your data.”

A compliment to all of Group 1 Software’s leading customer data and data integration solutions, including the Customer Data Quality Platform and DataFlow™, Profiler Plus features automated column profiling, along with key, join, and dependency testing capabilities, providing the tools needed to build a comprehensive picture of data significantly faster than traditional approaches. Additionally, anomaly detection helps analysts highlight potential areas for investigation and kick-starts the analysis process.

As either a stand-alone solution, or as part of a larger strategic initiative, Profiler Plus supports a variety of activities, including major systems investments, data audits, data migrations, and data quality rules development.
