During address validation the structured address elements are compared to postal reference data. This step checks if the individual elements exist and if the combination is correct. Missing elements are supplied, typos eliminated and ambiguities resolved.
The AddressDoctor Validation Engine was developed to deliver optimal results and reduce manual interaction. It also keeps false corrections (the change of an almost correct address to an incorrect one) to an absolute minimum.
In many cases it isn't possible to completely verify addresses. For these cases AddressDoctor offers a unique deliverability assessment that rates addresses based on elements present. Every address receives a deliverability assessment.
Are you facing the challenge of working with foreign languages like Greek, Russian, Japanese or Chinese without being a native speaker and having the respective input devices at your disposal?

AddressDoctor Character Set Mapping and Transliteration is fully Unicode enabled and is the basis for all 
AddressDoctor products.
Correctly identified address elements are especially important when addresses are to be abbreviated to fit into fields with a maximum field width. The abbreviation rules of the AddressDoctor standardization functionality ensure no important information is lost.
All AddressDoctor products support parsing.
With AddressDoctor 5, data enrichment with geo-coordinates is now directly built into the software library; thus you can easily append latitude and longitude in the standard WGS84 format to your addresses. Optimize your sales, marketing and logistic activities by using geographical illustrations.
In cooperation with the Callcredit Information Group, AddressDoctor now provides address enrichment with CAMEO codes through the AddressDoctor Software Library Version 5.2.8.
CAMEO is the leading suite of global consumer classification systems.

So, whether you're managing customer relationships, searching for prospects or conducting analysis to support marketing and operational strategy, CAMEO is the ideal tool for you.
AddressDoctor provides CAMEO-enrichment for currently 29 countries. As with all enrichment options, AddressDoctor validates each address before adding the CAMEO information thereby improving both the quantity and accuracy of the CAMEO appended data.
Postal certifications are an absolute necessity if you plan to post bulk mail at discounted rates within specific countries, like the USA, Canada or Australia. Customers like direct marketing agencies or online shops benefit from accurate addresses which culminates in more efficient and timely mail delivery.
