Release Summary: Tracing specialists add millions of 2009 Electoral
Register records to their database
Press
Release Body: Tracesmart,
renowned for supplying companies with data cleansing
and debtor tracing solutions, have announced that they have uploaded
2009 edited Electoral register records to their database. The
records have also been integrated into their Tracesmart
Corporate product suite to provide their customers with access
to the most up-to-date electoral information available - making
them the first supplier of online people tracing services and
identity checks to do so.
The
definitive annual snapshot of the UK electorate, the Electoral
register has two formats - the full version which is utilised
to facilitate voting and credit reference checks; and the edited
Electoral register which is commercially available and employed
by many companies to trace people, cleanse
consumer data and verify individual's identities in know your
customer exercises.
Commenting
from their Cardiff Bay headquarters, Paul Weathersby, Technical
Director at Tracesmart, notes how the loading of the 2009 electoral
records onto their database has been their quickest to date,
"This
year the process of adding electoral data to our system has been
the swiftest and most efficient in company history. We have significantly
improved on our strong track record by loading the data earlier
than we ever have - this has been possible through both considerable
expansion of our IT team throughout 2008 and an enhancement of
our data collection process."
Edited
Electoral register records are a key component in both identity checks
and tracing exercises as they contain both the name and address
of UK citizens - essential pieces of information if you need to
identify or locate an individual. The prompt release of 2009 edited
Electoral register
records demonstrates one of Tracesmart's key philosophies - that
their clients should be able to access the freshest data at the
earliest opportunity, as Mike Trezise, Tracesmart's Managing Director,
explains,
"Electoral
records play a key role in all of our services - especially in
our online tracing resource and our electronic identity verification
tool. As such we acquired Electoral register 2009 records at the
earliest possible time to ensure that users of our services have
access to the most up-to-date information available and obtain
the highly accurate results that they require."
To
maintain the accuracy of the 2009 Electoral register data they
hold, Tracesmart will be refreshing the records on a monthly basis
from January with Rolling Register updates - equating to some
150,000 amendments per month.
