Title:

MDM multilingual matching

Agreement Number:

1033529

Agreement Value:

$143,384.00

Agreement Date:

Jul 14, 2025 - Feb 23, 2026

Description:

Master Data Management (MDM) helps organizations solve the record matching (or, data duplication) problem. MDM requires a combination of automatic and manual linking based on the match results generated. Current tested algorithms such as Soundex or Jaro-Winkler have been applied in English only. The firm seeks to expand its matching rules to enable multilingual matching which will greatly increase the market for its Health Data Platform. It will first enable MSA (Modern Standard Arabic) matching before proceeding to create the required manual linking UI to support multilingual match remediation, specifically for French and German.
