As noted by McKinsey in a recent article: “Although external data sources offer immense potential, they also present several practical challenges.“

To deliver maximum context, data experts must gain, verify, process data into the right format, and create references to the appropriate internal data. Insurers can share highly detailed post-weather event data, which enables claims teams to settle more claims with increased accuracy. They can also use the data to review and share recent past weather data within various territories. Once insurers have identified additional sources of external data, how do they ensure they are gaining joined-up insights?

For most organisations, adding additional location data to these addresses can be both valuable and profitable. From avoiding missed deliveries and service calls to plan routes between drop-offs and assessing the risks associated with a location, there are many reasons businesses may need to supplement their address data with location intelligence. Unique Property Reference Numbers are unique references given to address and non-address locations in the UK by the Ordnance Survey. As unique references, they can help organisations to build a trusted indexing system for all the addresses they hold. Whatever choices you make about location data will depend on the industry you are in, what logistical issues you face and what intelligence you want to derive from the world and your customers within it.

Across Asia Pacific, many countries are learning to live with the coronavirus as borders are gradually being re-opened. Location data has the power to forecast demand, identify supply chain disruptions, and facilitate infrastructure planning, just to name a few. The need for location intelligence will thus become more prevalent as auto manufacturers seek greater supply chain efficiency, sustainability, and end-to-end visibility. It’s time to address the ‘where’ question. From the trends that I’ve outlined above, it’s clear that location intelligence is gaining ground in Asia Pacific. The author is Senior Vice President and General Manager Asia Pacific, HERE Technologies.

Members of the Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability will use $1 million to collaborate on a new NSF-funded national initiative to understand climate change and disaster risks and affects. A Michigan State University sustainability scholar and his colleagues are partners in a new $15 million national initiative to enable geospatial data-driven scientific discovery aimed at understanding the risks and affects of climate change and disasters. MSU’s role, funded at about $1 million, will be to apply the tele coupling framework to disentangle the complexity of globalization, climate change, and natural disasters. The new institute will bring together about 40 researchers from U of I, MSU, Columbia University, Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc., Florida International University, Open Geospatial Consortium, Purdue University, University Consortium for Geographic Information Science, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, Utah State University, and a variety of other partners. NSF is investing $75 million to establish five new Harnessing the Data Revolution institutes as part of its “Big Idea” initiative.
