Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFI)

These industries are in many cases only beginning to engage with location and the role it plays in optimising resource deployment, investment, risk and so on, with insurance very much in the vanguard of this process. Geographic analysis has been mostly back-office rather than process aligned, so the extent of what is possible from tighter integration of existing business systems with location intelligence is both challenging and exciting.

The principles of a service oriented architecture (SOA) that underpin our core professional services market consists of a series of flexible, reusable standards based components that are readily configurable for and can be integrated with most enterprise applications. So, whether you need an address solution, an on-demand map interface or a location specific site investigation you can call on our services to deliver the required output to your application, device, portal or website in the way that you want.

The low level of awareness of location data across this sector contrasts dramatically with the fast moving nature of the business, with its tens of thousands transactions a day in relation to investment, claims, risk, re-insurance, asset management, portfolio exposure and much more.  For many within these dynamic decision making environments operating on slim margins there are elements of risk attached both to the establishment of an in-house infrastructure and to the failure to take account of location specific intelligence and how it impacts every decision.

Such challenges pose no such problem for emapsite whose on-tap location intelligence content, tools and resources facilitate smooth, rapid integration with even the most complex IT systems.  In providing access to massive location data resources, emapsite opens up a far more granular world of risk, enabling those who adopt it to leverage greater returns from the investments, optimise their investment risk and create significant competitive advantage.

As local and global climatic conditions grow increasingly unpredictable and uncertain, with more frequent peak and catastrophic events, it is essential that decision makers, investors and citizens have confidence in the rationale behind a given decision or valuation.  Flood risk, ground stability, planning history, historic land use, proximity to a wide variety of statutory land designations and points of interest all impact such decisions and values and these are all on tap from emapsite’s content stack via emapsite’s geographic web services suite.
