Pitney Bowes (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company that provides commerce solutions in the areas of ecommerce, shipping, mailing, and data, today announced that the company has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Location Intelligence Platforms, Q4 2018.

In this major market evaluation, Forrester recognizes Pitney Bowes as being a leader among Location Intelligence vendors that were evaluated along three high-level categories:

• Current offering, which includes criteria such as location intelligence data management, spatial visualization and analytics, data products, execution and optimization, and platform experience.

• Market presence, which includes criteria such as platform revenue, enterprise customers, and deal size.

The Pitney Bowes Location Intelligence platform scored the highest out of all evaluated vendors in the current offering category. More specifically, Pitney Bowes received the highest scores possible in the data products and product vision criteria. It also received the highest possible score in the location services and functionality criterion.

Forrester also noted Pitney Bowes strives to deliver insights through its address-centric Location Intelligence platform, which comprises six core components. These components, it said, deliver a comprehensive and scalable set of spatial analytics capabilities that typical power users, such as GIS professionals, require. But they also provide capabilities for democratizing spatial insights to business and operational users through the Spectrum Technology Platform.

“Not all data is created equal.
