Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/1934f4/vendor_profile_p) has announced the addition of the "Vendor Profile - Pitney Bowes Software" report to their offering.

Pitney Bowes, Inc., was founded in 1920 and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. It acquired Group 1 Software in 2004. Nearly three years later it acquired MapInfo. In September of 2007, Pitney Bowes merged PB Group 1 Software and PB MapInfo forming a new business unit called Pitney Bowes Software, Inc, rebranded in 2009 as Pitney Bowes Business Insight (PBBI). Currently PBBI has overseas offices in 20 countries worldwide and employs approximately 1,625 people. PBBI's revenues are almost evenly split between the US and International markets.

PBBI has six product portfolios:

- Location Intelligence / GIS (mostly the MapInfo Business)

- Customer Communication Management (CCM) (e.g. document composition, electronic content management, on-line billing)

- Communication Intelligence (postal software solutions)

- Enterprise Business Solutions (e.g. Data Quality, Integration & Geocoding)

- Strategy & Analytics (e.g. predictive analytics and business intelligence)

- Data (e.g. street, geographic, demographic and industry-specific datasets)

While Group 1 and MapInfo both offered technology in the Location Intelligence space, this portfolio is predominantly made up of the former MapInfo technologies. PBBI's enterprise geo-spatial technology has been combined with the Customer Data Quality Platfom in the Enterprise Business Solutions portfolio. The Customer Communication Management and Communication Intelligence portfolios are representative of former Group 1 technologies. PBBI's Strategy & Analytics portfolio combines Group 1 technology with MapInfo's Predictive Analytics capabilities. PBBI's Data portfolio offers datasets that augments and improves the results of its technology.

The Customer Data Quality Platform has a development staff of nearly 50 in the US, as well as a large offshore programming team. Sales of its Data Quality & Integration technology are handled through the PBBI direct and indirect sales force.
