Current Status
Phase 1 is fully completed and operational. The solution has been successfully implemented on a sample dataset of 100,000 records and proven effective, with 56,531 records deduplicated from the original 100,000 records.
Phase 2 is currently in progress with POC validation completed and full system development underway.
Current efforts are focused on:
Developing the solution design document for full system implementation
Building the comprehensive deduplication engine to handle 100 million records
Implementing complete system integration with MTN infrastructure
Establishing data cleansing automation and audit capabilities
Developing the production dashboard and monitoring interfaces
Preparing for comprehensive testing and user acceptance testing
