Case Study: EDP Consulting Group achieves rapid deduplication and client retention with Data Ladder's DataMatch™

Data Matching Tools Added Value For Technology Consultants

EDP Consulting Group, a San Francisco–based technology consulting firm established in 1979, was tasked with migrating a client’s large legacy Microsoft SQL Server dataset (dating back to 2005) to a new system. Facing more than 100,000 records across location, contact, and client tables and unable to get effective results from in‑house Ruby and SQL scripts, EDP turned to Data Ladder and its DataMatch™ product for deduplication and data-cleaning support.

Data Ladder implemented DataMatch™ to perform high-speed data matching and deduplication, complemented by specialist support that helped EDP quickly identify and remove duplicates and prepare the data for migration. The solution saved a large amount of time, enabled EDP to retain the client, and—per Data Ladder—delivered measurable improvements in match rates (DataMatch™ has been shown to find roughly 5–12% more matches than leading competitors), improving the client’s migration readiness.
