Deprecation Notice

The Dedicated Cloud (Appliance Mode) for the Contact Verify SSIS Component has been deprecated on May 5th, 2025. As a result, SSIS Contact Verify users on Dedicated Cloud are no longer able to use this mode.

The deprecation is part of our efforts to streamline and modernize the service. We encourage all affected users to migrate to either the Melissa Data Cloud or on-premise solutions for continued service.

This change does not impact SSIS users who are already using the Melissa Data Cloud. If you are using the Melissa Data Cloud, no action is needed.

For any questions or assistance with migrating to Melissa Data Cloud or on-premise solutions, please contact your account representative.

Expanded Licensing Support for SSIS Cloud Components

All SSIS cloud components—including Business Coder, IP Locator, Property, Contact Verify, Smart Mover, Personator, and Global Verify—now support standard Melissa Cloud API licenses.

This allows existing web service customers to use SSIS components with their current API license, without requiring a separate SSIS-specific license.

Credit Usage Now Available for Personator and Global Verify

Personator and Global Verify can now be accessed using a flexible credit-based model. Customers can download Melissa data quality components through Microsoft Marketplace, create an account, purchase credits, and begin using these services immediately without requiring contact with Melissa sales representatives.

New Bounce Check Option in Global Verify Component

A new Bounce Check feature has been added to the Global Verify SSIS component, integrating Melissa’s real-time email validation capability from the Global Email API. When enabled, the system sends a lightweight test message to the mail server to confirm mailbox validity in real time.
