With the addition of Tele Atlas Address Points, Business Analyst users will have more precise geocoding capabilities to design a range of enterprise GIS applications, such as those that are designed to help:  determine insurance risk with a higher level of confidence, intended to mitigate the insurers’ exposure; make real estate business decisions based on more precise location data; collect revenue more easily with stricter enforcement of compliance standards for tax authorities; and minimize the risk of accidents for “call before you dig” applications.

“Tele Atlas Address Points help to set a new standard for accuracy and utility for geocoding solutions and takes a significant step toward delivering on the industry’s promise of rooftop accuracy,” said Mike McCabe, global product manager, Tele Atlas. “By furthering our partnership with ESRI to enable developers and users with valuable point address data, we are able to increasingly meet the needs of ESRI’s customers to help them create and deliver more innovative, powerful applications that optimize their businesses and operations."
