If you are ONLY concerned with U.S. names and addresses, you HAVE to take
zip code into consideration (zip+4 is even better)
example
Joe's Snack Bar
Main St
Kansas City
Now is that Kansas or Missouri
and if you are talking about non-US addresses POST CODE is also a MUST

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.
Jim Townsend
