Exasol proves
to be a match
made in heaven
for crunching
data lists in
Match2List’s
innovative SaaS
solution
Match2Lists has chosen Exasol as
the in-memory analytic database
engine to run its innovative data
matching and cleansing cloud.
Match2Lists allows customers
to rapidly and accurately clean
and unify data from disparate
systems and sources, and is used
in multiple sectors including
travel, pharmaceutical, FMCG
and financial services.
Creating a single unified view
of customers and prospects,
from all the data available is
key to turning it into actionable
information. Matching numerous
internal data (sales, marketing
and account management) with
external sources (third party
and partner data) is complex
and time consuming given the
endless variations of spellings
of company names, addresses
as well as considering all the
ways that a person’s name can
be spelled or shortened. To be
able to do this needs a matching
algorithm with intelligence.
The more data that is
successfully matched and
deduplicated, the more information
you can piece together from the
disparate sources. Match2Lists.
com combines the most advanced
data matching algorithms
with a visual interface to allow
companies to accurately match
millions of records in minutes.

London Gaming Startup Drives Growth
with Managed Cloud from Rackspace
Rackspace has announced that London gaming startup Construct’s new browser based
games development software will use Fanatical Support for Microsoft Azure.
Through Construct’s website visitors can run Construct 3 in the browser. Construct 3
allows anybody at any level, from 12-year olds to fully fledged designers, to make their own
computer games on Windows, Linux and Android.
To build Construct 3, Construct needed to invest significantly in its web infrastructure.
To support, it chose Microsoft Azure, backed by Fanatical Support, from Rackspace to host
the website, design and build the Azure infrastructure, and manage and maintain the cloud
deployment. With the website now hosted in the cloud, Construct can now easily deal with
infrastructure demand by deploying more resources.
With nothing to install, all users need to do to use Construct 3 is visit the website.
Easy to pick and play, Construct allows users to create a game in minutes, but offers the
possibility for designers to build complex puzzles, platformers and action games – without
the need for any programming knowledge. They can then publish the game on platforms
like Steam, iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Facebook and Xbox One.
