Data Expertise

Better decisions begin with better data. iMapData puts the information you need to make critical decisions at your fingertips.

We begin by identifying the data required to suit your needs, in itself no small task. We then use our expertise to acquire the best information available. Finally, we integrate it into your solution using our proven data implementation process.

Client Data Integration

Much of the information you require already exists in your organization - scattered across departments in incompatible formats. We use a federated model to make this information accessible from one interface and enable you to correlate it with data from other sources.

We can quickly add new data sets or update existing ones as your needs change. We can even give you the ability to upload your own data sets and geocode them on the fly.

iMapData maximizes your data collection efforts and allows you to work more efficiently.

The iMapData Library

When the required information is not in your databases, the iMapData library is a ready resource. 25 years in the making, it includes information from original research, public records, and third parties.

  • Access 1300+ regularly updated data layers with tens of millions of data points
  • Each layer is extensively cleaned, digitized and packaged for accessibility
  • Researchers regularly create new data sets or add attributes to existing data sets to support specific client needs

The total cost of ownership for an iMapData solution is significantly below that to compile and maintain a comparative data set.

Professional Data Acquisition

When it's in your best interest, iMapData can also purchase or license existing data sets from third parties. Our experience and strong relationships with leading data vendors worldwide enable us to acquire high quality information quickly and cost effectively.

Our skilled data acquisition team can:

  • Quickly identify the best vendor for the required data, in terms of price, quality and contract terms
  • Effectively navigate the many licensing structures used by vendors
  • Negotiate better pricing and terms as a large volume purchaser with proven integrity
  • Ensure that licensing agreements meet your needs now and in the future
  • Make certain that the final deliverable is compatible with your iMapData solution

We’re committed to ensuring that you get the data you need quickly and at a fair price.
