I'm pleased to announce that the new Royal Mail NCOA Update and NCOA Suppress data files are now available through our Data8Online data cleansing service.
These files replace the previous NCOA and USS files. NCOA Update fills the role performed by the old NCOA file by providing updated addresses for people that have moved house, while NCOA Suppress replaces the old USS file by identifying people who are no longer at their old address but for which a new address cannot be identified.
You don't need to do anything to take advantage of this change - the NCOA Suppress file is incorporated into our Goneaway service, while the NCOA Update file is used in our NCOA service, exactly the same as before. However, you should receive more matches as these files provide information on more home movers than the older files.
