SQL Power DQguru

Data Cleansing & MDM Tool

The SQL Power DQguru helps you cleanse your data, validate and correct addresses, identify and remove duplicates, and build cross-references between source and target tables. This provides business users with complete and accurate data, and a single 360-degree view of all business entities, such as customer, product, representative, employee, supplier or business unit.
