Like most GIS professionals or data scientists, you spend way too much time sourcing, cleaning and managing data. Nearly half of firms now rely on 3rd party data for insight but most struggle with these problems, and as a result are not getting full value from their data investments. Just this month Pitney Bowes soft-launched the Software and Data Marketplace to address some of these challenges. With a deeply-rooted focus on data quality and accessibility, the marketplace is an easy to use single-source destination to search, discover, and visualize our entire data catalog. It offers the capability of downloading sample data sets in minutes, giving customer the ability to access all licensed data products and product updates in one convenient location. The capabilities of the marketplace will evolve over time, including the ability to purchase software and obtain updates.
The Software and Data Marketplace officially launches in February, but we invite you to take it for a spin before the general public. If you are registered for Li360, your same login credentials give you marketplace access.
