SAP BusinessObjects Data Quality Management SDK (DQM SDK) allows organizations to embed data quality functionality such as global address validation, data cleansing, data matching, and geocoding directly within their applications. The data quality functions are delivered through an API allowing developers to quickly enhance the value of any application. Since the functionality is delivered as a set of libraries for C++, Java, and the .Net framework, this deployment of Data Quality Management does not require server components and eliminates the overhead of client/server communication. Data Quality Management SDK is a simple API which will allow developer’s an extremely quick deployment of data quality functionality.

In this book, we want to highlight the facts behind so YOU can decide rather than being pulled forth and back by different opinions.
