You don’t need more data — you need clarity.

“Let’s start off with explaining what entity resolution is, because a lot of people don’t understand that term. Entities are people, companies, vehicles or vessels, and there are attributes that describe these entities.” — Will Layton, SVP of Global Sales, Senzing

In an age where federal agencies are navigating enormous volumes of data across hybrid, public, and air-gapped clouds, one of the biggest blind spots in mission-critical operations isn’t access—it’s clarity. That’s where entity resolution becomes a game-changer.

As featured on the Federal Tech Podcast, Will Layton of Senzing breaks it down: entity resolution is about connecting the dots—identifying whether “Will Layton,” “Bill Layton,” and “William Layton” are, in fact, the same person. When applied at scale, this technology can uncover fraudulent actors, flag potential security threats, and eliminate duplicate or misleading records.

Unlike traditional tools that require rigid data formatting or full-blown data cleansing, The Senzing solution is built for government complexity. It works across languages, formats, and even partial data sets. And perhaps most importantly—it delivers explainable results, meaning agencies can show their work, prove connections, and avoid costly mistakes in intelligence or compliance workflows.

Key Benefits for Federal Agencies:

• Operates within air-gapped and highly secure environments
• Integrates with any cloud or on-prem setup
• Scales to billions of records with explainable, real-time results
• Doesn’t store or see agency data—ensuring full control and security

Whether you’re working to prevent fraud, vet vendors, or streamline benefits eligibility, the message is clear: if you’re trying to understand who you’re dealing with, you need more than search—you need entity resolution.
