Mapflow puts GeoDirectory on the map.
Mapflow becomes a value added reseller of An Post GeoDirectory.

Dublin, September 15th 2004.

Irish company Mapflow today announced a value added reseller agreement with An Post GeoDirectory. GeoDirectory is the national address database developed by An Post and Ordnance Survey Ireland that provides the precise co-ordinate of every building in Ireland. Mapflow is a Dublin based software company delivering enterprise GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and LBS (Location Based Services) solutions.

Richard Bryce, CEO of Mapflow comments "Increasingly our projects are concerned with delivering enterprise wide deployments of GIS across large organisations in the telecommunications, financial services and transport sectors. Understanding customer and address locations is vital to the success of these programs; GeoDirectory is therefore a valuable component, giving us an accurate and comprehensive reference database of every building and its corresponding address in Ireland."

Bryce continues "we are also encouraged by the investment that Ordnance Survey Ireland and An Post continue to make in GeoDirectory, adding on average 25,000 new buildings each quarter. It is this level of investment which helps to make GeoDirectory the address database of choice for large nationwide organisations that need to be able to respond efficiently to their customers' needs."

Ken Murphy, General Manager of An Post GeoDirectory comments "Geographical information has now entered into mainstream decision making, with most people interacting with a geographic system every day – be it in applying for car insurance, requesting a new telephone connection or simply calling a taxi. We're delighted to welcome Mapflow as a partner."
