# Project Scope

The scope of the **Tech 5 Deduplication Solution** is to implement a comprehensive solution that identifies and eliminates duplicate customer records in MTN Nigeria's database through biometric matching, while establishing real-time duplicate prevention during new SIM registrations, thereby improving data integrity and reducing fraudulent activities.

This project is to be executed in two phases.&#x20;

3. Identification and flagging of duplicate entries.

**Out-of-Scope Items**

1. Dashboards or monitoring tools for MTN staff.
2. Hardware upgrades for field agents.

#### **Phase 2: Middleware Development**

**In-Scope Items**

1. Middleware Development to connect MTN's systems to Tech5's deduplication engine.
2. Scaling of the Deduplication engine to process MTN's full customer database.
3. **Essential Integrations**
   * SIM registration platform connection
   * Fraud Management System alerts
   * Basic dashboard for monitoring deduplication status
