iMIS SOA can now perform real-time address verification using web services hosted by ASI. The benefits are many:
■ Running this verification through the ASI web service frees you from having to install and maintain these data files locally.
■ Offloading verification to this service keeps it from adding to the processing load of your page.
■ The services of different address providers can co-exist, making it possible to verify addresses across multiple countries.
■ The service can support future verification of collections of addresses as well as single ones.
Postal addresses entered in the Contact Account Creator and Contact Address Editor iParts automatically upload to this service that verifies and standardizes the address. Users can then either accept the suggested address or keep the original, as they entered it.
The countries supported by this service are subject to change. Contact your AiSP to obtain an up-to-date list.
