I am looking for any information on Name and Addressing matching solutions. I am not looking for a DE-DUP solution but one where I an synchronize two customer lists to come up with common entries. (It is pretty similar to DE-DUP.)

I am currently using a algorithm for the matching which removes vowels and spaces then does a comparison based on 3 characters at a time to figure out a match percent. The problem is we are matching on DBA's where one person will have it listed as Joe's Snack Bar and Grill and some one else will list it as Joe's Grill and Bar.

I am looking for either a build or buy solution.

Thank you for your assistance.
