Partnership Enables Big Data Clients with
Advanced GeoSpatial and Data Quality Capabilities
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company that
provides innovative products and solutions to power commerce,
announced today that it has joined Hortonworks Partnerworks in the
Modern Data Solutions (MDS) partner program to enhance data
management and analytics for clients so that they may be able to
leverage the power of a Big Data platform. Clients will now have
access to data quality, advanced geospatial foundation and
geo-enrichment capabilities that will result in faster, more
scalable business insight.
Through the partnership Pitney Bowes will deploy its data
quality and geospatial capabilities, which recently achieved
Hortonworks Certification. These data quality and geospatial
capabilities are critical in driving business transformation and
outcomes in a data-driven world. Location-based data, in
particular, plays an important role in how businesses understand
their customers because it is one of the most consistent ways to
link people, places and things.
Data storage and analytics are both equally critical to how
businesses interpret this data. Traditional infrastructures are
designed to analyze large quantities of data, on premise, through
hardware devices. However, these infrastructures cannot handle the
tremendous amounts of structured and unstructured data that today’s
consumers produce each day, both on and offline. Businesses that
rely on traditional infrastructures are challenged to analyze data
with speed and scale.
Hortonworks is a leading industry innovator, focused on
creating, distributing and supporting enterprise-ready, open and
connected data platforms, and modern data applications that deliver
actionable intelligence from all data. Its connected data
platforms, powered by open source technologies, are making it
possible for clients to analyze mass amounts of structured and
unstructured data, while Pitney Bowes adds the spatial and vertical
market-specific data to allow customers to fully leverage the power
of a Hortonworks Data Platform.
“Hortonworks is dedicated to expanding and empowering the modern
data solution ecosystem, which ultimately accelerates adoption of
connected data platforms,” says Chris Sullivan, Senior Vice
President, Global Channels & Alliances, Hortonworks. “We are
pleased to welcome Pitney Bowes to the Partnerworks community and
look forward to working with them to strengthen the role of
connected data platforms for the enterprise.”
Pitney Bowes’ spatial analytics solutions are utilized across
many verticals including insurance, financial services,
telecommunications and retail, with many applying these analytics
across massive, global data sets. Insurance firms rely on Pitney
Bowes’ spatial capabilities to better understand risk profiles by
geography. Financial services firms leverage spatial analytics to
optimize branch and ATM locations. Telecommunications providers and
retailers use spatial data to better understand their subscribers
and customers to present the most attractive offers to them.
Additionally, analytics for the Internet of Things (IoT) require
location attributes in order to fully address asset management use
cases.
“Our partnership is extremely beneficial for Pitney Bowes and
Hortonworks clients because it’s one that will enable our clients
to get tremendous business value out of their Big Data investments
through geospatial analytics,” says Roger Pilc, Executive Vice
President, Chief Innovation Officer, Pitney Bowes. “By making our
solutions available through one of the market’s most respected big
data providers, we’re making it easy for partners and clients to
derive meaningful insight, quickly and at scale.”
Pitney Bowes Big Data solutions enable end users to quickly
visualize patterns and relationships, inform interpretation and
decision making, and generate richer insights and a faster
return-of-investment. With data quality and geospatial analytics
embedded directly into Big Data applications, it’s easy to keep
pace with the extraordinary speed and scale required. Clients can
expedite insights, bread down data silos, boost accuracy and
precision with geospatial and geo-enrichment capabilities, and link
information across and with datasets like never before.
Currently, the Pitney Bowes capabilities offered through
Hortonworks include Spectrum Geocoding for Big Data, Spectrum
Location Intelligence for Big Data, Spectrum Data Quality for Big
Data and the Spectrum Technology Platform. These offerings enable
clients to work with structured and unstructured data to extract
insights that can be applied for better outcomes.
