Entity Analytics Relationship Resolution

DB2® Identity Resolution and DB2 Relationship Resolution form a new family of products — DB2 Entity Analytics — that allows you to build repositories of identity and relationship information that are sourced from multiple databases. The processes used to build the repositories create resolved identity and relationship information, which can be used directly or in your applications. The DB2 Identity Resolution software can determine unique identities across data using multiple name variations, addresses, ID numbers, and other commonly used personal data. The DB2 Relationship Resolution software adds the ability to understand nonobvious relationships and connections between individuals, such as shared phone numbers or bank accounts. The software requires a relational database, such as DB2 Universal Database®. The DB2 Entity Analytics family of software strengthens IBM's middleware portfolio through a multidimensional approach to analytics that dramatically extends the capabilities of identity-based applications. The combination of DB2 Identity Resolution and DB2 Relationship Resolution provides value to business partners who deliver business intelligence and other applications that might require a single customer view, fraud detection, or Customer Relationship Management across many industries, such as government, banking, insurance, and healthcare. The Identity Resolution and Relationship Resolution technology is based on both SQL and the Java™ industry standard J2EE, allowing developers to more easily develop, deploy, and maintain analytical business applications. It also complements IBM's open computing approach through its ability to work with both IBM and non-IBM data sources, including Oracle and Microsoft™ databases, enabling customers to integrate this sophisticated technology with their existing technology infrastructure. DB2 Entity Analytics further extends investments IBM is making in support of analytical solutions, which include DB2 Data Warehouse Edition, DB2 Cube Views, and DB2 Alphablox. IBM also enables industry-specific business intelligence solutions, including the IBM Banking Data Warehouse for financial institutions and the IBM Crime Information Warehouse® for law enforcement.
