Welcome to the world of area code correction.

Correcting area codes in customer files is an essential maintenance operation in any business. Clean telephone listings improve productivity dramatically for every employee, empowering them to perform their tasks rapidly and efficiently.

You can correct your telephone numbers manually, which is slow, labor intensive, and extremely expensive. PhoneSeal does the job inexpensively, fast, and much more accurately.

PhoneSeal is only one of several companies that offer area code correction software. If you want an overview of the products and methodologies out there, read the White Paper, "Options for repairing the damage caused by Area Code Changes"

If you are looking around for solutions, you will find a remarkable lack of explanation on other web sites regarding their processing techniques. If you do an exhaustive study of this field, you will also find that the alternative software solutions are substantially more expensive, less accurate, and slower, than PhoneSeal's software.

This part of the PhoneSeal web site will introduce you to the concepts of area code correction. By the time you have finished this section, you will have enough information to be able to ask any other vendor intelligent questions about their software and how it works.

One of the biggest costs in area code correction is the evaluation process of the options in the marketplace. One of PhoneSeal's larger customers had four people involved in the selection process. Their internal evaluation cost exceeded $25,000, simply because of the difficulty of getting accurate information on the alternative correction processing techniques used by the different vendors, and then testing to find out which software worked most accurately.

The following web pages are designed to bring you up to speed with the correction process, and educate you to all the software options in the marketplace. You may choose to buy somebody else's software at the end of this education. Our objective here is not to sell you software, but to help you make an informed decision.

This might sound a bit strange. The point is, here at PhoneSeal, we spend a lot of time talking to companies during their decision-making process. It is much more cost-effective for Phoneseal staff to help you get your education from the web, than to have you call us on the telephone.

Of course, your telephone calls are always welcome. But if we can help save you time as well, then it works best for all concerned.
