A recent press release states, “Pitney Bowes Inc., 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.”

The release goes on, “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’.”
