Intuitive graphical user interface
Create jobs using a visual ‘canvas style’ graphical user interface. Connect any sequence of data processing functions from merging data to PAF validating to adding seeds and sorting for postage. See job processing results directly on the canvas and easily spot and correct errors. You can also save complex jobs and reload them to speed up setup times and reduce errors.
Built in data hygiene
Cygnus comes with over 450 million suppression and home mover records included. Suppress or update records without having to interrupt processing to send data externally. Choose which industry leading files and which to prioritise from Royal Mail, Experian, Sagacity, DBS Data, The Ark, Wilmington Millennium. Data is already licensed so no need to negotiate with individual hygiene providers or commit to minimum volumes.
Everything in one place
Cygnus is the data processing ‘bureau in a box’ offering the widest range of data manipulation functions in a single, intuitive application. Cygnus has evolved to allow granular control over each finite detail of a job from how files are imported, merged and standardised to the sensitivity of PAF validation. Manage how data is manipulated into segments, define cleansing parameters and sortation options before setting up seed records, reports and output file formats. Cygnus can also be extended beyond its core modules using the in-built scripting function or write your own installable User Specified Process Dlls.

All the data processing tools you will ever need in a single, intuitive package
Import
Load and standardise data with name and address parsing, obscenity, deceased word and embedded comment screening. Get a data quality audit report on completion.
PAF
PAF validate imported data by simply validating the postcode or fully enhancing the address before adding the Delivery Point Suffix (DPS) for postal sortation such as Mailmark.
Suppression
Select industry leading suppression files embedded directly within Cygnus. Prioritise the file order and define match levels before previewing results and creating reports for clients.
Home Mover
Keep in touch with contacts who move with embedded Home Mover data files. Choose to update campaign records or download new data to update customer databases and CRM systems directly.
Dedupe
Identify duplicate records using Cygnus fuzzy matching algorithms and configurable rule based tables. Manage multiple files with differing matching levels, and a logic driven selection hierarchy.
Match
Reference multiple lookup data sources such as dealer/account number files and consolidate multiple records to one ‘golden customer record’ by matching unique information from multiple sources.
Splerge™
Easily split and / or merge data together to segment data into similar batches, run A/B tests, generate numeric based data splits, perform conditional processing or simply combine data files.
Sortation
Accredited by Royal Mail and compatible with all the main downstream access providers, Cygnus accurately sorts data to achieve the maximum possible discounts and also produces the Mailmark eManifest data.
Seeds
Create and manage campaign seed records including seeds for clients in addition to seeds for adherence to best practice for Advertising Mail and the Joint Industry Committee for Mail (JICMail).
