Data8's Goneaway Identification web service enables your application to verify data
against some of the UK's largest goneaway files.
Check your customer details against this service as soon as they are entered onto
your system to help prevent ID fraud, or just before you try to contact them to
reduce wasted communications.
Looking for the new address?
In addition to using this service to tell you that a person is no longer present
at their address, you can use the movers identification
service to get their new address so you can retain them as a customer.
The Goneaway Identification service from Data8 is accessed through SOAP web services,
making it simple to use from any major programming language.
