AO Address Quality
Overview
Advanced Object (AO) Address Quality provides for address correction, address parsing and address standardization. You can enable geocode assignment with a single option. If you require a USPS CASS report, a parameter is available on the Processing tab to specify where the report should be created. AO Address Quality accepts a single stream as input and produces a single output.
