+5  Q: 

Address Standardization/Correction/Geocoding

My place of employment is looking into buying a third party tool, for batch based US and Canadian Address correction, with Geocoding.

What Products have you used?

What do you Like about them?

What do you not like about them?

We are a C/C++ Unix Shop.

Thanks in advance.

+2  A: 

We use Melissa Data, they have a number of solutions including geocoding and address normalization. They have good APIs and the support has been great. Their solutions work on many platforms and languages including C and C++ on Unix. Can't think anything negative about them.

it is interesting that only you and I seem to have address issues to deal with.

Apparently. I work for a direct marketing company so work a lot with address correction and standardization. Did you find something that worked for you?

Yes, we are using a product from IST.
