Big Data Quality must always be verified to ensure that data is safe, accurate, and complete. Data is moved through multiple IT platforms or stored in Data Lakes. The Big Data Challenge: Data often loses its trustworthiness because of (i) Undiscovered errors in incoming data (iii). Multiple data sources that get out-of-synchrony over time (iii). Structural changes to data in downstream processes not expected downstream and (iv) multiple IT platforms (Hadoop DW, Cloud). Unexpected errors can occur when data moves between systems, such as from a Data Warehouse to a Hadoop environment, NoSQL database, or the Cloud. Data can change unexpectedly due to poor processes, ad-hoc data policies, poor data storage and control, and lack of control over certain data sources (e.g., external providers). DataBuck is an autonomous, self-learning, Big Data Quality validation tool and Data Matching tool.

Data Ladder
DataMatch Enterprise (DME) is Data Ladder's entity resolution and data matching platform. It identifies records that refer to the same person, business, or entity across disconnected systems, then links and consolidates them into a single accurate record. Core functions include data profiling, standardization, matching, deduplication, and merging, supporting use cases such as Customer 360, KYC, fraud detection, and master data management.
The platform is available through a no-code visual interface for business users and a REST API for developers, allowing the same matching engine to be embedded in applications, data pipelines, or AI agent workflows. Match results are rule-based and traceable, so users can see the specific logic behind each linked record rather than a single opaque score.
Recent additions include entity graphs for visualizing connected records, live search for real-time matching, and Docker as a deployment option in addition to cloud and on-premises environments.
Independent benchmarking across 15 studies shows DME identifying 5 to 12% more matches than comparable tools, with fewer false positives and accuracy up to 99%. In a large-scale test, it processed 10 million records in 41 minutes.
