Apatar Open Source Data Integration Improves the Quality of Customer Data with StrikeIron Email Verification
New Apatar Connector Helps Companies to Easily Clean Customer Data Before It Enters CRM/ERP Systems, Databases, Flat Files, and RSS Feeds, All Without Coding. PR9.NET January 23, 2008 - Chicopee, MA - Apatar, Inc., the leading provider of open source software tools for the data integration market, today officially announced StrikeIron Email Verification connector for the Apatar Open Source Data Integration toolset. The new feature is designed to instantly determine the validity of an e-mail address or domain using StrikeIron Web Services. Now Apatar enables its users to easily cleanse customer data by validating and filtering e-mails extracted from databases (such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL, Oracle), files (Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, CSV/TXT files), applications (Salesforce.com, SugarCRM), and the top Web 2.0 destinations (Flickr, Amazon S3, RSS feeds). StrikeIron Email Verification service allows users to instantly determine the validity of an e-mail address or domain, reduce spam by blocking e-mails that are sent from invalid e-mail addresses, and ensure that e-mail addresses are validated before they are entered into a database or before a mailing is sent. "Business users are starving for reliable customer information," said Renat Khasanshyn, CEO and founder of Apatar. "E-mail verification will allow filtering contacts before they enter your on-premises or on-demand CRM/ERP system, such as SalesForce.com or SugarCRM. Having customer data clean and consistent will help marketing and sales departments improve decision-making and consolidate their efforts on the most promising prospects." According to The Gartner Group, corporate developers spend approximately 65 percent of their effort building bridges between applications. Apatar is the first company to release open source tools for non-technical staff and customers to access the application data they need to do their jobs more effectively. With Apatar's visual toolset, business users can perform even a complex data integration job without having to write a single line of a code. "Email Verification Web service reduces the time wasted on processing the bad leads," said Bob Brauer, CEO and President of StrikeIron. "Delivered directly into the intuitive Apatar application, StrikeIron's Email Verification connector enables users to easily integrate customer data with corporate CRM/ERP applications, websites, databases, files, and interactive services without custom coding."
