Professional Services
The Pitney Bowes Group 1 Software Professional Services Team is uniquely positioned to deliver the highest standards of geospatial services to its clients. Utilizing the Centrus product suite we can offer the most comprehensive, accurate and powerful software solutions for point-level business geographics. Leveraging a widely experienced resource pool, the Professional Services Team has four major offerings within the geospatial service line.
Data File Enhancement
The ability to provide key demographic data such as ethnicity to a purchased mailing list enables the mailer to send targeted advertisements to potential customers. What was once a questionable quality list from a third party source is now a focused, clean marketing tool that can deliver quantifiable results.
Custom File Development and Maintenance
Almost all businesses have geographic data needs that cannot be met by third party data. Examples of these unique data sets not commercially available are sales rep territories, customer delivery zones or retail store locations. Through the power of our existing business geographic competencies we can offer dynamic solutions to these complex business geographic needs.
The initial custom boundary development is either one of the following types of engagement:
- Conversion which involves converting existing electronic boundaries based on standard Geographic Information System (GIS) formats
- Creation which involves creating spatial boundary files from written descriptions, printed maps or other non-electronic source material.
Since boundaries are never static, the maintenance of spatial boundary files is a continual process. For example, public utility districts change as utility companies merge and expand service areas. The Professional Services Team can support these on-going custom data needs through a maintenance service agreement.
Tax Rate Assignment Service
Group 1’s software allows our customers to confidently assign tax jurisdictions. Customers use our assistance because tax jurisdictions are constantly changing, compliance is mandated by federal and state law and the potential for monetary liabilities resulting from inaccurate tax assignment.
Therefore, the Professional Services team offers the following solution:
- Analysis and reconciliation of tax billing discrepancies
- Corrected tax billing amounts for our customers during a custom time period
- Detailed and summary reporting on the incorrect tax billing amounts.
Custom Application Development Services
Custom applications are the wrapper that can be leveraged with all of the services that have been previously discussed. They can act as a delivery mechanism for all the capabilities previously discussed to provide real time decision support to the customers’ business units.
