“Pitney Bowes delivers a scalable spatial solution connected for
commerce,” writes Rowan Curran, Forrester Research, in the report. “Pitney
Bowes offers a scalable spatial platform that GIS professionals require,
but the vendor also helps many other users of geospatial technology and
data accelerate adoption by leveraging the power of its Spectrum
Technology Platform and enabling its wider software solutions with
spatial capabilities.”
Forrester notes that the Pitney Bowes location intelligence “solution
focuses on scalable analysis, fast and accurate geocoding (with
additional contextual data delivered with the GeoEnrichment capability),
and an increasing empowerment of developers through web-based APIs for
infusing applications with additional spatial data and location
intelligence, such as local geosearch and supporting data solutions.”
Bob Guidotti, President of Software Solutions, Pitney Bowes says, “Most
organizations today are using business intelligence solutions to analyze
business data, but few understand how spatial data translates into
enterprise systems and market insight. By leveraging Pitney Bowes’
geospatial capabilities, built on the Spectrum Technology Platform,
businesses can do so much more with their data. Not only can they
analyze the data with more precision and accuracy, but they can
visualize patterns and relationships that they would otherwise miss
without mapping technology.”
The Spectrum Technology Platform is the foundation of Pitney Bowes’
Identify and Locate solutions, which help organizations identify
customers and locate opportunities to enable commerce across the full
commerce continuum with speed and agility. By accessing these solutions
through the Pitney Bowes Commerce
Cloud, GIS professionals and developers can better aggregate,
cleanse, enrich and analyze data in ways that are contextually relevant;
and offer the ability to create a complete and accurate, single view of
a customer, pulling together data across disparate sources, to better
engage customers with best next action and drive a superior customer
experience.
