We are considering using subscribing to the AddressFinder, PhoneFinder and PeopleFinder services provided by Data Enrichment Services. Has anyone had any experience using these services? Have you found the service to be worth the cost? Have you seen a dramatic improvement in the accuracy of your database? Any comments would be helpful. Thanks.

We just used the PhoneFinder and Deceased Record Append. I was very happy with results, especially the phone numbers. Dee Dee Demling Database Administrator The New York Botanical Garden

We have purchased the data enhancements, but have not processed them yet. We are in the middle of our data conversion and will run our first scan of them in about three weeks... I can give more information then. Elaine Tucker [Email Removed] Texas Lutheran University

We use Melissadata.com. They offer NCOA, MCOA, and Phone Append. All three services on our database of less than 15,000 records cost $250.00. We run it before each large quarterly mailing of 10K pieces. Results in around 40% range. It picked up a great number of phone numbers we didn't have and found over 50% of our missing people's addresses. They also offer Email append but we don't use it.

Hi, apparently there were three responses to this message but I don't see any of them. I'd really appreciate some feedback on how much success people have had with these features. We're considering purchasing People Finder, I ran some samples that RE provided me and I'm not sure what to think. What is the accuracy rate (from your experience)? How much clean-up is necessary after running a global search with People Finder? Thanks very much for any information! Danielle Wild Salmon Center [Email Removed]
