The Golgafrinchans sent their Telephone Sanitizer population away as they were deemed useless. They were sent to form a colony on a remote planet (Earth as it happens). The down side, for the Golgafrinchans, was the remaining population was wiped out by a virulent disease contracted via unsanitary telephones.
Missing or incorrect telephone details causes frustration and annoyance, however there are data8’s data cleansing services that can help your data hygiene. If you already have a database with missing numbers, data8 can use their batch teleappend service to attach telephone numbers to names and addresses.
Ringing the wrong people can also cause problems, particularly those on TPS or CTPS, getting your file flagged by data8, with TPS numbers could save you thousands of pounds in fines.
If you have a call centre and want to ensure the numbers you give to your team are valid to save them time, then data8’s batch line validation will confirm that they only get live numbers to work with.
Using integr8, data8’s data real time validation applications, you can ensure that you only capture correct telephone numbers, they will check the format of the number is valid, then using telephone number validation, check that the line is live, all in real time.
To take advantage of the most comprehensive telephone data hygiene service and avoid what happened to the Golgafrinchans, give us a call on 0151 355 4555.
