Dictionary Firm Name Standardization Issues

55 Views

Using the PERSON_FIRM_EN Dictionary with Data Services v3.2 SP2, I'm getting Firm Names on output that are just business acronyms. For example, AMERICAN RED CROSS is output as ARC.

For this client project, they do not want to significantly change the legal title name of their business customers. Therefore these business acronyms are unacceptable. They require the full name to be returned with spelling issues and other abbreviations resolved if they exist. However there is no Data Cleanse parameter that I'm aware for giving me the option to apply or not apply these acronyms as the Firm.

The reason these specific firms are being standardized in this way is because the base dictionary has the acronym entered as the Standard. I understand why putting these acronyms in as Aliases makes sense but not as actual Firm Standards.

I need a fix and it would be a massive project to search through and edit out all of these standards.

Can anyone offer a work around?

Chuck
