Which plugins?

Semarchy provides 2 plug-ins for Melissa (formerly Melissa Data) which are ready to use once you deploy them. 
1. Melissa Data Personator 
2. Melissa Data Global Address Verification.

What's the difference?

The main difference is the personator provides "people' information but it is only for the US and Canada. The Global doesn't have "people" information but it has international addresses covering almost all countries in the world.

Here is Melissa Data's documentation introducing the two services and explaining the differences.

Global Address Verification: http://wiki.melissadata.com/index.php?title=Global_Address_Verification%3AIntroduction

When you download the plug-in files, you will have access to both the binaries and the documentation. You can read the documentation to do a side-by-side comparison of the fields that each plug-in returns which we outline in the doc to decide which service you need.
