GreenSquareAccord

Due the merge of GreenSquare and Accord Housing Association, the data from different housing systems containing different structures and quality scenarios needed to be integrated in order to create new and holistic Housing Stock-List.

The business needed an innovative approach to data integration and management, firstly to integrate two groups of legacy systems for the new combined business, but also to improve and standardise the quality and structure of both companies’ legacy data.

Due to the number of records and properties and matching scenarios in this project, we utilized Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Services to compliment the in-built functionality within the Sentinel Data Platform. We used these Machine Learning services to perform 1.5 trillion comparisons to discover and analyse potential matches.
