Their global presence, particularly in the United States, and the depth of their business data will enable us to accelerate our ambition. By combining our geolocation technologies with their layers of business data, we will offer much more powerful services, combining geolocation, identity (enriched business data) and business context. This is exactly what our customers have been waiting for.”

With Woosmap, we are bringing together three essential dimensions of application intelligence : identity, attributes and location. It is this combination that enables businesses to create truly intelligent, contextualised and reliable experiences.”
