Coming Soon

  • Identity Resolution (IDR) and Civis Data Match (CDM) will be undergoing infrastructure updates next week. No downtime is expected during the migration and no action is needed on your part. Note that the new versions may lead to changes in match rates and resolved IDs due to minor data preprocessing changes. The matching algorithm will now consider PO Box addresses. Please contact Support if you’d like to learn more.

Week Ending 12/20/2025

Updates

  • platform.civisanalytics.com URLs will now be hyperlinked in Run logs.
