We do have a solution for QuickBooks, but we also do address validation and presort services for businesses of all sizes including electric and water utilities. Usually the appropriate questions to ask is how many addresses do you have, when do you need them back, what quality do you desire, and how much do you want to pay.

I just have one question... why do you consider tool vendors to be "DQ Leaders"? Surely the people who should lead data quality/information quality (you say potato, I say pah-tah-to) should be the Information customers... either the end customer of a business or the various 'internal' customers? Being lead by a vendor in my experience can result in your IQ practices being the ones that the vendor's tool supports - not necessarily the one that is best suited to your organisation... A real case of "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". I look forward to hosting the December Carnival. Vincent – thanks for organising this Blog Carnival.
