Maintaining data quality is crucial in working with InterAction+™ CIM. You should merge Contacts when you have two Contacts that are duplicates of each other. When you create a new Contact, InterAction+ CIM will attempt to find similar Contacts to avoid duplications, but at times creating a duplicate Contact still occurs. Merging Contacts helps to keep your data clean.
