Building Quality Entity Resolution Is Very Challenging

Building high-quality entity resolution capabilities into enterprise applications, services, data fabrics or data pipelines can be a daunting and expensive endeavor, a grueling marathon. Organizations often invest millions of dollars and years of effort – with teams sometimes exceeding 100 people – to try to develop effective entity resolution algorithms and systems. It also requires expertise across statistics, linguistics and performance engineering, as well as a deep understanding of entity resolution edge cases.

Until just a few years ago, the only commercial entity resolution options available were complicated, expensive and hard-to-manage full stack systems that could take many months or years to deploy.

Today, however, the Senzing API allows organizations to quickly add highly accurate advanced data matching and relationship detection capabilities to their enterprise systems with just a few lines of code. Just like licensing third-party payment processing or mobile communications capabilities, adding entity resolution with the Senzing API can be achieved in a matter of days to weeks in a capital-efficient manner.

Deploying Senzing Entity Resolution AI Is Fast and Easy

Building entity resolution technology in-house involves significant financial commitment. From our research, we have found that organizations can expect to spend about $1 million to achieve 70% of the features of a state-of-the-art solution. Advancing to 80% capability can cost up to $5 million, while reaching 90% could escalate to $30 million or more – without ever achieving state-of-the-art performance.
