HERE Technologies has introduced a new data-as-a-service (DaaS) delivery model for its HERE GIS Data Suite, enabling Esri users to directly access enterprise-grade mapping, routing, and geocoding data without the need to manage large datasets. The new offering is designed to simplify GIS workflows, reduce infrastructure overhead, and help organizations accelerate spatial analysis and decision-making.
As GIS organizations work with increasingly complex geospatial datasets, managing and maintaining mapping infrastructure has become a growing operational challenge. HERE Technologies aims to address this issue by making HERE GIS Data Suite available through a data-as-a-service model that integrates directly into Esri environments.
Rather than downloading, hosting, and updating large GIS datasets locally, users can now access continuously refreshed mapping and location data through their existing workflows, reducing administrative effort while improving data consistency.
“GIS professionals spend too much time preparing and maintaining data and that burden continues to grow as datasets scale,” said Chris Handley, Senior Vice President of Product Management at HERE Technologies.
“By delivering HERE GIS Data Suite as a service, we’re removing that complexity so teams can shift focus to analysis, decision making and mission-critical outcomes.”
HERE GIS Data Suite provides organizations with enterprise-grade geospatial data optimized for mapping, routing, analysis, and geocoding.
The platform delivers direct access to:
The new service model allows GIS teams to work with current datasets without managing data publication or infrastructure maintenance.
Many GIS teams continue to host large datasets locally or manage their own mapping and routing services. These processes can increase operational complexity, delay project onboarding, and introduce inconsistencies across departments.
HERE GIS Data Suite addresses these challenges by providing:
The service enables organizations to focus more on analytics, planning, and operational decision-making rather than managing geospatial infrastructure.
Built on HERE's location technology, the GIS Data Suite supports a wide range of enterprise applications, including:
Organizations can access HERE GIS Data Suite either through downloadable datasets or via APIs, providing flexibility based on operational requirements.
The launch reflects the growing demand for cloud-based GIS services that simplify access to high-quality location intelligence while reducing infrastructure costs and accelerating enterprise geospatial analysis.
