With the Address Validation Service Deployment utility, you can configure your web server to use the address correction service AddressAccelerator to validate addresses in your database. AddressAccelerator updates and CASS-certifies addresses to ensure that mailings reach their intended recipients.
Note: AddressAccelerator provides CASS certification through Satori Software, Inc., an official CASS certification agent.
When you update addresses with AddressAccelerator, you can:
Update addresses with missing information and correct misspellings.
Correct missing or incorrect 5-digit ZIP codes.
Add ZIP+4 codes to an address.
Add carrier route codes and delivery point codes.
Standardize street addresses.
Update an entire mailing list or verify a single address.
Automatically CASS certify addresses to qualify you for postal discounts on mailings. The CASS certification is valid for 180 days.
AddressAccelerator exposes a Windows Communication Foundation endpoint with the application server as a client. Any AddressAccelerator requests from the browser are sent through the application server to the WCF service.
If you choose to use a validation provider other than Satori, you can configure and extend to a different provider. For more information, see Configure a validation provider.
