In location intelligence, your data is only as useful as your ability to deploy it. Organizations across industries recognize the value of premium map data from vendors like HERE to support fleet operations, emergency response, infrastructure planning, and GIS analysis. But acquiring high-quality data is only the beginning.
A common assumption is that buying directly from a global data provider or relying on free, open-source map data is the most efficient or cost-effective path to a successful GIS implementation. But the true cost extends beyond the data itself. Realizing its full value requires the time, expertise, and technical effort to prepare and put that GIS data to work.
That's where a dedicated GIS data reseller adds value. As a HERE Platinum Partner since 2001, ADCi serves as a trusted guide, helping organizations bridge the gap between premium HERE data and operational success through licensing expertise, ready-to-run datasets, responsive technical support, and tailored solutions that help organizations get more from their GIS investment.
The Foundation: The Power of HERE Map Data & Solutions
HERE is widely recognized as the gold standard in location intelligence, providing enterprise-grade map data trusted by governments, utilities, logistics companies, and countless other organizations worldwide. Known for its comprehensive coverage, accuracy, and continual updates, HERE delivers the high-quality data that powers everything from municipal planning and emergency dispatch to navigation and fleet operations.
Key HERE offerings include:
- HERE GIS Data Suite: High-fidelity geocoding, basemaps, and network analysis data ready for platforms such as Esri ArcGIS Pro.
- HERE Traffic Patterns: Powered by billions of real-time GPS data points to support fleet optimization, emergency response routing, traffic analysis, and other transportation applications.
- HERE Advanced Map: Rich, highly detailed map data with the attributes needed for sophisticated routing, logistics, and infrastructure applications.
While it provides unparalleled accuracy, configuring and deploying HERE data to match specific enterprise software and localized boundaries can be daunting for an internal IT or GIS team acting alone. ADCi bridges that gap by providing the licensing expertise, ready-to-run data, and responsive technical support needed to deploy HERE data successfully.
Core Value #1: Licensing Expertise & Cost Optimization
Enterprise GIS licensing is notoriously complex. Over-licensing wastes money, while under-licensing can create legal, compliance, and operational risks.
ADCi helps organizations navigate that complexity with licensing expertise and commercial flexibility that align GIS investments with real-world operational needs.
The ADCi Advantage
Licensing Expertise
ADCi acts as a translator for complex licensing terms and usage rights, ensuring organizations select the appropriate licensing scope for their specific needs. Whether the data will be used for an internal intranet, a mobile asset management system, or a public-facing web application, ADCi matches the licensing model to the intended use case.
Commercial Flexibility
ADCi also offers greater commercial flexibility than large data providers that often rely on rigid, one-size-fits-all enterprise agreements. By helping customers navigate contract nuances and tailoring both the licensing scope and geographic coverage to their specific requirements, ADCi ensures organizations pay for exactly what they need, whether that's data for a single county, an entire state, or the whole country.
That flexibility also allows organizations to scale their investment as projects evolve instead of paying for more coverage than they need. The result is a licensing strategy that aligns with both operational requirements and budget, helping organizations maximize the return on every licensing investment while maintaining the flexibility to support future GIS needs.
Core Value #2: Ready-to-Run Data and Customization
Raw map data rarely arrives ready to plug-and-play. Formatting, aligning projections, and clipping data to specific operational zones can require hours of tedious preparation before it's ready for production use.
ADCi enables organizations to spend less time preparing data and more time putting it to work.
The ADCi Advantage
Esri/ArcGIS Integration
One of ADCi's key advantages is delivering HERE data that's ready-to-run in Esri ArcGIS environments. ADCi provides HERE data in formats such as Shapefiles and File Geodatabases for seamless use in ArcGIS Pro reducing implementation time and allowing GIS professionals to get to work faster.
Data Tailoring
Not every organization needs the same data. If only certain attribute layers are required, such as posted speed limits or administrative boundaries, for a hyper-local region, ADCi trims and optimizes the dataset rather than delivering unnecessary information. The result is a smaller, more efficient dataset that reduces local hardware storage requirements, improves server performance, and simplifies ongoing data management.
Core Value #3: Responsive Technical Support
When a data migration glitch stalls a fleet, a dataset doesn’t import correctly, or an integration doesn't work as expected, getting timely support matters. Unfortunately, getting a knowledgeable person on the phone at a multi-billion-dollar global corporation can sometimes mean waiting through days of support tickets before receiving meaningful assistance.
ADCi provides responsive, dedicated support from specialized mapping data experts, giving organizations direct access to knowledgeable experts who simplify implementation, reduce risk, and maximize the value of their GIS investment.
The ADCi Advantage
The Human Element
When clients contact ADCi, they speak directly with specialized mapping data experts who understand both the data and the GIS environments in which it's being used. That direct access allows issues to be resolved quickly and projects to keep moving.
Risk Mitigation
From assisting with API key configuration to vetting data security and reducing potential system vulnerabilities, ADCi acts as an extension of each client's technical team. That practical guidance helps identify and resolve potential issues before they become larger problems.
Sample Data Confidence
ADCi helps customers make informed purchasing decisions by providing sample data up front. Fleet managers, GIS professionals, and developers can verify system integration, confirm compatibility, and validate workflows before making a financial commitment. That upfront validation reduces risk, speeds deployment, and helps ensure the selected solution is the right fit from the start.
Real-World Impact: Who Benefits Most?
Organizations across virtually every industry can benefit from working with a GIS data reseller that delivers data that's licensed, configured, and supported to meet their operational needs from the start.
Real-world applications like these make the value clear.
Fleet & Logistics
A regional delivery fleet combines HERE Traffic with ADCi's storage-saving data tailoring to optimize daily route planning while reducing unnecessary data storage requirements and improving system efficiency.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
A small-to-mid-sized EMS provider needs highly accurate local map data configured precisely for its Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system but doesn't have the budget or GIS resources of a large government agency. ADCi delivers data tailored to those mission-critical requirements.
Insurance & Underwriting
An insurance carrier uses HERE Administrative Areas to evaluate environmental risk zones while ADCi delivers only the data needed for the region being analyzed, eliminating the need to process unnecessary global files.
The Value of an ADCi Partnership
Premium HERE map data provides the foundation for better GIS outcomes. Working with an experienced GIS partner helps organizations put that data to work more effectively.
With more than three decades of digital mapping experience, ADCi transforms what can be an overwhelming process into a smooth, tailored partnership. Recognized as a HERE Platinum Partner, ADCi serves as a trusted guide from initial licensing through deployment and ongoing support. By delivering ready-to-run HERE data tailored to each organization's GIS environment, ADCi helps customers maximize the return on their HERE data investment.
