Geospatial Intelligence Example for Actuaries - So the classic example is for years actuaries always wanted to know whether a property was in or out of a flood plain, and if you were in the flood plain you paid more for your insurance, and if you were out of the flood plain you paid less for your insurance. But now with the geospatial analytics, we can actually make determinations along the lines of to what degree a property is in the flood plain. So now properties that are further in the flood plain now can pay higher insurance, and properties that are not as far in the flood plain can pay less and then of course continually the least, those that are out of the flood plain can pay even less. But that goes right to the heart of the insurance business because it's about property. It's about pricing and marketing, and so all of our major insurance carriers are finding that to be critically important...
