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 entered a partnership with Cloudera to
deploy geospatial processing and data quality solutions to end
users on top of Cloudera Enterprise. Clients will now have access
to powerful location-based technology to enrich their Big Data
investments.
Data is everything, especially in a world where consumers
interact with businesses both physically and digitally. However,
traditional data processing relies on hardware and on-premise
deployment, which can result in tedious and costly data analysis.
Cloudera has eliminated the challenges that often come with
traditional infrastructures by providing a fast, easy to deploy,
and secure data management and analytics platform.
“Working with Pitney Bowes allows us to deliver location-based
and data quality solutions to our clients,” says Tom Pinckney, Head
of Business Development at Cloudera. “Together, we will be able to
digitally deliver change agents to our clients that will ultimately
improve overall compliance, reduce operational costs, enhance
customer intimacy, and secure competitive advantage in the
market.”
Through the partnership, Pitney Bowes has certified its data
quality and advanced geospatial and geo-enrichment capabilities on
Cloudera Enterprise. Location-based data, in particular, plays a
critical role in how businesses understand their customer because
it is one of the most consistent ways to link people, places and
things.
“Our partnership with Cloudera is the latest example of Pitney
Bowes’ dedication to providing innovative offerings to clients so
that they can realize better business outcomes,” says Doug Mazlish,
Vice President, Innovation Operations and Strategic Alliances,
Pitney Bowes. “Our partnership will ensure our clients unlock even
more business value from their big data platforms.”
Spatially-enabled big data analytics are becoming increasingly
important within multiple industry verticals including
Telecommunications, Financial Services, IoT, Insurance, Retail and
Adtech. By leveraging Pitney Bowes Big Data solutions, clients
across these verticals will experience long-term benefits and
greater business insight to aid in their digital transformation
journey.
For example, Financial Services providers will be able to more
accurately monitor money coming in and money going out so that they
can mitigate risk, protect their organizations and clients against
fraudulent activities, and to remain compliant with evolving
regulations. Telecommunications providers can now identify areas
for coverage improvement so that they may deliver more value to the
right customer, improve customer relationships and optimize
marketing analytics, and Insurance providers can rest assured that
they’re providing the right amount of coverage to customers in any
given area because they will have a complete view of their
customer’s location and imminent dangers they may face.
In addition to data quality and geospatial capabilities, Pitney
Bowes also provides big data clients with over 350 data sets to
help clients better understand location in a highly contextual
manner. These data sets include point of interest, demographics,
business data, and more.
Through this partnership, Cloudera clients will now have the
ability to not only tackle the volume, velocity and variety of big
data, but they will also be able to manage the veracity of it.
Currently Pitney Bowes is deploying four Cloudera Certified
Technology products that will ensure clients are accessing the
highest quality location data to make more accurate and successful
business decisions, including Pitney Bowes 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.
