Verifying a person's first and last name. Although many companies deal with people from all over the globe, numerous data entry errors are made when a foreign name is manually entered into a database and separated into given name and surname. Using rules from numerous languages and countries, name parsing software analyzes the full name and makes corrections when necessary. See parse.
