Performance Impact Due to DPV™ Implementation

DPV is mandatory. We all know that to qualify for the maximum postal discount, you must use DPV to validate addresses. But, what happens when the requirement used to save money ends up costing your company valuable performance?

Flexible DPV Implementations from Group 1

Group 1 offers DPV in many variations to alleviate and solve the performance impact problems. These offerings provide for flexible implementations based on individual platform configuration.

What Are Your Processing Goals?

All in all, our experience has shown that in order to obtain desirable results, you must identify your processing goals. Some considerations include:

  • If your organization timeshares a mainframe system and is charged by CPU utilization, your goals are to minimize CPU processing time
  • If your concerns are based on production windows and schedules, your goals are based on Elapsed or Wall Clock time

Solutions Vary by System

In any scenario, the solution differs depending on the type of system you have. For mainframe customers, your system programmers must perform analysis of your mainframe systems, while Windows and UNIX systems typically only need adequate hardware memory and software configurations.
