"A large number of companies are collecting customer information through online and digital channels, but the information often is exposed to human error," said Thomas Schutz, senior vice president and general manager for Experian Data Quality. "Errors in contact data can have large ramifications not only on Website operations, but also on consumer intelligence and marketing. The new free trial allows companies to integrate validation tools quickly to test the effectiveness and impact on their organization."

According to a recent Experian Data Quality study, less than half of companies have interactive contact data validation on their ecommerce site, which can lead to strong improvements in data quality. The free trial allows companies to test this type of interactive software that prevents inaccurate information by validating contact details while the consumer is still engaged.
