Melissa has partnered with Carahsoft Technology to serve as its master government aggregator, making the company’s data quality, open-source intelligence, identity resolution and fraud management tools available to public sector customers.
What Capabilities Does Melissa Provide?
Carahsoft said Tuesday Melissa’s portfolio includes the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program-authorized GovCloud Address Suite, built to support agencies that handle sensitive citizen information. The suite offers global address verification, geocoding and USPS NCOALink processing. It can also flag and update addresses for individuals who have relocated within the past 48 months.
The company’s Delivery Point Validation tool verifies whether an address is deliverable to a specific apartment or suite number, while its address autocompletion capabilities help agencies enter verified postal and email information into applications and web forms.
Melissa said its tools support CASS-certified address standardization and validation and are certified by Canada Post’s Software Evaluation and Recognition Program for Canadian change-of-address processing. The company also works with postal authorities such as Royal Mail and Deutsche Post to provide address verification services internationally.
Access to trusted data, open-source intelligence and identity information remains critical as intelligence and government organizations modernize their operations.
