AddressServer provides organizations of all sizes a single integrated platform that delivers CASS[TM] certified address assignment, DPV[TM] and LACS(Link)[TM] processing at the point-of-entry.

AddressServer, utilizing AVI's CASS certified Directory Retrieval System (DRS), is able to accept input data in the form of plain text, or as an image.
