It was great to see the news hitting the wires today:
Just wanted to add; that we are very pleased we chose Kognitio and Wx2 for our backend system architecture.
I’d just like to say a huge welcome to the new customers registering with Match2Lists.
We’re very excited only went live late last night, its awesome that people are finding us already.
Please feel free to contact us any time if you have any questions.
We are working hard to provide some more detailed tutorials which should be on their way shortly.
And not forgetting a massive thank you to the team, I appreciate that you guys have been busting your guts for a while now, but the end result is exceptional, Really well done.
I’d like to say a big thank you to Diny, for her patience and professionalism in helping put together the Video Tutorials. And for her putting up with my woeful attempts at directing. I am amazed that she managed to do the entirety of each of these videos in a single take.
We have posted these on YouTube and you will also find them within the tutorial section of this blog.
I really hope you find these useful, if you would like further tutorials covering specific aspects of Match2Lists please let me know, and I can see if I can persuade Diny to step up to the mic again.
Its been frustrating me for a while now that the matching debate has’nt moved on from Fuzzy matching (guesswork).
The problem as I see it is that Fuzzy matching by its very nature is an imperfect science, and the more sophisticated (complex) it gets the more it increases the requirements for manually eyeballing the search results. This is very time consuming and adds a lot of unseen expense to the cost of Matching and Cleaning data.
Academics around the world are looking for a technical solution for a problem that the human brain can manage easily, the answer for me is is simple – human logic. Human logic is not programmed, its not invented, its not techicial – its a simple knowledge transfer.
I would rather see the industry as a whole move towards an intelligent approach, and focus on intelligence led matching.
What do I mean?
You may have noticed the Translator feature on the right hand menu, we hope that you find this useful. Let us know how you get on with it.
There are options to add other countries, so feel free to ping us if you would like another language added.
Thanks to Nothing2Hide for this great plugin.
We have fixed the issue with the Auto Refresh on the Project and Lists pages not updating the processing status properly.
This appeared tobe specific to people using Google Chrome and Firefox. Although we have now tested the following browsers and it appears to be working correctly.
Internet Explorer/ Firefox / Google Chrome / Safari & Opera.
We do however continue to advise that Match2Lists is best used with either Internet Explorer of Firefox.
We have just added support for new data descriptions these include:
- Telephone Numbers
- First Name
- Last Name
We have added some basic transformation logic with these but will be extending this on an ongoing basis, so you can expect it to improve over time.
