How the Data Hub works
The Sentinel Data Hub is powered by sophisticated software that can be quickly and easily configured to extract data records from any structured source or database and bring them together to form a single holistic view.
Without overwriting or discarding any original data, the Hub merges and presents information according to a set of business rules that each customer can define. Acting on these rules, the Hub is able to validate, profile and automatically cleanse incoming records as they are received. This ensures a higher level of confidence in the data quality before proceeding to match records.
Where there is a close match on records, matching rules can be set to carry out the match automatically. Where there are less certain matching results, the rule can be set to propose the match for someone to investigate and decide upon.
When matching personal data, the Hub's powerful functionality is able to consider all mistyped, misspelt and mispronounced name scenarios, as well as name transposition and common names/addresses.
