Contact Data Validation

As people’s lives change, so does their data. As a result, your data can become outdated very quickly. Experian’s address cleaning expertise and Australia Post’s National Change of Address (NCoA) data can uplift your residents (constituents) data to help ensure you provide quality service experiences. Our Address data is sourced and enhanced from the most authoritative sources: Australia Post PAF, G-NAF and Geoscape.

Data Migration

With the help of our Data Quality Platform (Aperture Data Studio) you gain visibility into your data and achieve greater control over the migration process. De-risk and streamline your migration project to ensure you successfully move your data to the new environment on time and on budget.

Single Constituent View

Many local authorities have multiple data sources, which can cause confusion, errors and delays. By getting your data sources to work together effectively, you can work seamlessly across different departments, avoiding duplication, as well as lost critical data. Experian's Single Constituent View solutions incorporate best in class data preparation, data matching, golden record creation, monitoring and consultancy capabilities.

Data Governance

Data Governance is the key to sustainably unlocking the full value of the data you own - so that it can underpin your data strategy, not just today, but on a long-term basis. For an effective governance strategy, you need to put in place the correct processes, people, and technology.
