STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 2016--
Pitney Bowes (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company providing
innovative products and solutions to power commerce, today announced
that the Pitney Bowes Geospatial API is now available with direct SaaS
subscriptions on AWS Marketplace.
The Pitney Bowes Geospatial API provides highly accurate geocoding and
reverse geocoding for data analytics. Uses include creating address
lists from latitude and longitudinal coordinates and identifying
latitude and longitudinal coordinates from an address or list of
addresses. The geospatial capability is mission critical to data
analytics that drive business outcomes for companies of all sizes. For

zones, telecommunications companies plan placement of their cell tower
network, and marketers target consumers for omni-channel communications.
Pitney Bowes is bringing this geospatial API to market on AWS
Marketplace so that AWS customers can easily access the offering and pay
through their existing AWS bill.
“The Pitney Bowes Geospatial API delivers the high level of accuracy
required for developers and clients to create the location-enhanced
solutions that drive commerce today,” said David McCann, Vice President
of AWS Marketplace and Catalog Services, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Our
AWS customers want to be able to find and immediately start using
solutions like the Pitney Bowes Geospatial API to speed their innovation
around data analytics, and our new SAAS Subscriptions API on AWS

easily than ever, and pay for their services on a unified AWS bill.”
