The MDM team plans to call an external address-validation service to standardize locations before matching. What implementation stance is appropriate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A good address scrubber is like sending the map to a specialist cleaner—match rates climb when the street lines make sense. Still, read the contract and watch privacy; outside help is not a free pass. Enrichment assists stewards; it does not fire them.
Full Explanation
Third-party enrichment and validation commonly improve standardization and match quality in MDM pipelines. Practitioners must govern vendor contracts, permitted uses, retention, and privacy obligations—especially for citizen data. Enrichment complements, rather than replaces, stewardship and threshold design, and results are typically integrated back into governed master processing under policy.
