Last week, Ironside’s partner Pitney Bowes, issued a press release announcing the global launch of its new Software & Data Marketplace.  We believe that accessibility to Pitney Bowes data will be valuable to our clients as they will be able to source and process data from multiple providers in the same applications, leading to easier analysis and collaboration of data points.

 

“The Software and Data Marketplace makes it easier to get, discover, learn about, and try products. High-quality data isn’t a ‘nice to have’ anymore – it’s an absolute necessity. We’re making it easy for clients to get the job done quickly and precisely.”

-Dan Adams, VP of Data, Pitney Bowes

 

Pitney Bowes offers a comprehensive portfolio of business, geographic, and industry-specific data featuring global coverage across 250 countries and territories. They have thousands of highly detailed and accurate datasets that will help you understand customer segments, manage risk and make decisions with confidence.

One example of a business use case is the IronSites visualization that Ironside created for TC17.  It was designed to highlight how Pitney Bowes datasets, such as CAMEO Geodemographic profiles1, can be used to enrich existing data assets and provide additional context and insights for site selection.  The IronSites dashboard helps you ‘walk’ through the analytical process of investigating existing site performance as well as customer profitability by CAMEO profile to help find the best new site location or assess the suitability of existing locations.  Check it out for yourself on Ironside’s Tableau Public page.

According to Pitney Bowes’ press release, “…many organizations now view data as a catalyst to growth and key to their digital transformation initiatives. Because of this, data marketplaces are seen by business leaders as a way to act contextually, confidently, and quickly.” Collaboration with Ironside’s analytics expertise allows clients to use this data to introduce new analytics processes and insights into their organizations, leading to greater business initiatives and outcomes.  Ironside’s CEO, Tim Kreytak, is quoted, stating:

 

“The comprehensive data portfolio from Pitney Bowes provides our clients with fresh, accurate data that helps to solve specific business problems, and allows us to deliver deeper, more meaningful data analytics. With the new Marketplace, our clients know that the data they’re using is the right data, and the insights they gather from that data are ones that will truly move the needle for their business and for their customers.”

-Tim Kreytak, CEO, Ironside
