TL Match 12.0

New product release for clean data, secure systems and intelligent search

TOLERANT Match 12.0 is here – and it has everything modern companies need for efficient matching, clean data cleansing and powerful cloud integration.
In addition to a revised architecture, new monitoring functions and increased performance, the release also includes a highlight for users:
a revamped multi-level search that significantly improves the quality and structure of results.

New architecture: modular, flexible and fit for the future

The new version is based on a modern microservice approach that makes TL Match more flexible, scalable and easier to maintain.
Thanks to Java 21 and the latest frameworks, the software is technically up to date and ready for future requirements.

Highlights of the new architecture:

Microservice structure for targeted scaling and easy deployment
Log4J2 for modern, secure logging and centralised evaluation
Identity provider support for single sign-on and secure authentication
Use of current, security-tested libraries

This technical realignment forms the basis for seamless use in modern cloud and hybrid environments.

Cloud readiness: Ready for Docker, Kubernetes and BigQuery

With TL Match 12.0, cloud operation becomes the standard. The software is fully containerised and can be easily integrated into Kubernetes clusters.

New cloud features:

Deployment via GitHub and Docker Hub with preconfigured scenarios
“Zero Downtime Kubernetes Example” for continuous maintenance
Optimisation for Docker – easy installation and scaling
New Google BigQuery Connector for big data analytics

This allows TL Match 12.0 to integrate seamlessly into existing data quality pipelines and cloud infrastructures – from local installation to scalable enterprise environments.

Security: Maximum control and trust

Data security remains a key focus.
The new release integrates state-of-the-art security standards while simplifying the management of sensitive certificates and user rights.

Improvements at a glance:

Support for identity providers (e.g. Keycloak, Azure AD)
Use of tested, secure libraries
Faster update processes for patches and security fixes
Simplified SSL certificate management

These enhancements ensure compliant, trustworthy and secure use – even in highly regulated industries.

Performance: Faster, more efficient, more stable

With version 12.0, performance has been optimised in all areas.
Whether matching, loading or synchronising, TL Match now works even faster and more resource-efficiently.

Performance optimisations:

Up to 50% faster initial loading
Cluster Sync improves performance in distributed environments
Optimised batch processing for large amounts of data
- Reusable index
- Up to 30% reduced runtimes
Configurable warm-up phase for immediate readiness
Optimised scalability with multithreading for service requests

The result: a responsive matching engine that delivers impressive performance even in complex system landscapes.

Highlight: Revised multi-level search

Another highlight in TL Match 12.0 is the redesigned multi-level search – an intelligent extension of the search logic that goes beyond classic hit results.

What’s new?
Multi-level search allows multiple search profiles to be combined in a cascade.
This means that rough “anchor” hits can be found first and then expanded and refined with more specificcharacteristics, such as telephone numbers or email addresses.
In addition, a new grouping function ensures logically ordered and semantically meaningful results.

Core functions at a glance:

Multi-level search: Combination of multiple profiles in levels (e.g. name → telephone → address)
Advanced results: Automatic follow-up searches based on characteristics found
Logical grouping: Sorting by relevance and context (e.g. by address or reference)
Scoring optimisation: Hits from lower levels are intelligently weighted (score multiplication)
Configurable extension: Flexible definition of main, extension and grouping profiles

Practical benefits:
Multi-level search delivers advanced results beyond the initial search vector and presents them in a logically structured manner.
This allows users to recognise connections that were previously hidden – a decisive advantage for complex customer data sets.

Example:
A search for “Stefan Sedlacek” first finds the matching entry, including the telephone number.
This telephone number automatically serves as a new search vector, which finds additional related data records – for example, with different spellings.
The result: a more complete, context-related hit list with a clear structure.

New features and monitoring

In addition to multi-level search, TL Match 12.0 brings further innovations for developers and administrators:

New in version 12.0:

Advanced monitoring metrics for runtime monitoring
Direct Compare API for fast ad hoc comparisons via REST
Log4J2 logging with central evaluation option
Individually configurable warm-up phases
Incremental loading and deletion of the index via files

This allows users to keep track of performance, resources and matching results at all times – transparently, comprehensibly and in real time.

Why TL Match 12.0 is a game changer

TOLERANT Match 12.0 combines technological modernisation, performance enhancement and intelligent search logic.
With the new multi-level search and direct compare feature, TL Match becomes a cross-platform matching engine that takes data quality and user-friendliness to a new level.

Advantages at a glance:

Automated, error-tolerant duplicate checking
Advanced, context-sensitive search through multi-level mechanism
Merging and grouping of data from different sources
High scalability and cloud compatibility
Fair.digital certified – data protection, transparency and fairness

Companies benefit from higher data quality, lower process costs and a robust basis for data-driven decisions.

Conclusion: A big step towards clean and intelligent data

With TL Match 12.0, TOLERANT Software is releasing a version that combines technological advancement, intelligent search logic and cloud convenience.
Multi-level search provides deeper, logically structured results, while the revised architecture ensures maximum performance and security.

Whether for marketing, sales or data governance –
TOLERANT Match 12.0 is the future of matching and address search:
fast, smart and secure.
