New capability will simplify data accessibility
and create new revenue stream
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI), a global technology company that
provides commerce solutions in the areas of ecommerce, shipping,
mailing, and data, today announced the Company will now offer
licenses to over 1,500 geography-specific data sets for purchase
online through the Pitney Bowes Software and Data Marketplace. The
new offering is yet another proof point in the Company’s strategy
to simplify commerce for customers, and invest in its growth
businesses, such as Data licensing.
The Software and Data Marketplace was built by and for data
users. It is designed as a self-service resource for users to
seamlessly access over a thousand industry-leading datasets with
relevance across industries, such as Retail, Insurance, AdTech,
Real Estate and Financial Services. Registered users can explore
and search the Pitney Bowes data catalog, instantly download sample
data, and visualize and layer data on a map to ensure the data
meets their needs.
Now, with the addition of this new purchase capability, users
can not only transact online, but can easily download purchases
through digital files. Software Development Kits (SDK) are
available for each data set download to ensure users receive their
products and updates automatically.
“When we launched our Data business almost two years ago, we saw
an opportunity to apply nearly a hundred years of experience
processing names and addresses for the betterment of business
professionals,” says Bob Guidotti, EVP and President, Pitney Bowes
Software. “Our clients and partners validated this belief, who
found that vetting and contracting data suppliers is time consuming
and difficult – and that’s only the beginning of the challenges
professionals face when sourcing data. Intake, quality control,
modifying and ingesting data, applying updates, assuring
interoperability, and providing controlled access to internal data
users is tedious, requires expertise, and is expensive. The
Software and Data Marketplace will ease that pain for users, while
also providing a new revenue stream for Pitney Bowes that will
allow us to continuously invest in this growth business. It’s a
win-win for everyone.”
Datasets now available for purchase include Addressing, World
Streets, World Boundaries, World Points of Interest, Property
Attributes, World Demographics, and GeoEnrichment. Users can
customize their purchase preferences with the ability to select
data for specific regions, identify preferred file formats and
select the license service terms that best meet their
organizational needs.
The Software and Data Marketplace will continue to evolve over
time, adding more learning resources, expanded data content and
products, more data samples, enhanced map visualization
functionality, and additional payment options.
