Data enrichment and enhancement

Business and marketing data enrichment allows brands and businesses to learn more about their users and customers, whether business or consumer. Reduce risk by improving the accuracy, quality, and reliability of data while helping to fill gaps in incomplete data sets. Enrichment also helps to increase the value of data by enhancing it with additional information and intelligence.

Data enrichment and data enhancement is the process of expanding existing data sets with additional information often from third-party sources. This process provides businesses with important information about customers, helping to build a complete and rich customer profile from simple data inputs.

Enriching and enhancing data can help to build a better understanding of the customer and provide insight into their preferences and behaviours. This helps to improve the user experience, build meaningful customer relationships, and create personalised and targeted marketing campaigns.

Data matching

Mass data is often structurally inconsistent and messy with incomplete records and incorrect data sets. Keying is the process of cleaning, standardising, and normalising data to provide a consistent and unique identity for each record. Keying is a fundamental prerequisite to help maximise your data matching. Experian Link keying solution identifies households, families, individuals, and dwellings and assigns unique keys to all data sources. This enables better internal matching of data ready for enrichment. Improving your data match ultimately improves database efficiency.
