The latest Global area boundaries update comes with numerous improvements such as boundaries for additional countries, adaption to the most recent territorial status and new small area levels (micro areas). The calculation of the matching purchasing power and socio-demographic data for Europe is also based on the latest statistics.
Geodata are constantly changing – every year there are numerous changes at administrative as well as at postal area level. Main reasons being cost saving, delivery area optimization or the implementation of political reforms.
“To keep up with these changes, our team of geospatial experts and data scientists are working to improve our global boundary maps and data in a continuous process,” says Mr. Roberts-York, Managing Director of Michael Bauer International GmbH. “An up-to-date data source is indispensable to avoid erroneous evaluations and consequently wrong decisions. With each new released update we strive to meet these expectations from our global customers across all industries, whether our data is used for geomarketing, location and expansion planning, social media marketing or business intelligence applications.”
