Hi everyone!
This is a data processing IT terminology as you may already know.
What I already know about this is there is a company who bears this name.
http://www.accumatch.com/who_we_are.htm

This is a porper noun. However, when this is used in the following sentence, it does not sound like it. Instead it must be a common noun.

If the value is greater than or eqal to XXXX for AccuMatch registration, a caution message appears ........

How shall I treat this word?

Selected answer:It's a proper noun and should be treated as such

Explanation:
Formica Corporation is our corporate name and, therefore, a proper noun. The two words are always to appear together and each is to begin with an initial capital letter. The word “the” is never to be used in front of Formica Corporation.
