HERE Named #1 Location Platform by Omdia for 6th Consecutive Year

Omdia Index recognizes HERE Technologies for its HERE ISA Map, HERE ADAS Map, and Mapping-as-a-Service for enterprises adopting IoT strategies

HERE Technologies, the leading location data and technology platform, announced that it has been ranked the No. 1 location platform for the sixth consecutive year by industry analyst firm Omdia.

According to the latest Omdia Location Platform Index, HERE continues to be the leader in the competitive location technology ecosystem due to its strong position this year in helping global automakers deliver road safety features, such as the European Union’s (EU) Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) requirement, and deploy higher levels of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and automated functionality.

HERE was also recognized for its private mapping offering that enables enterprises to bring their own data onto the HERE location platform, in which HERE provides the tools, location data and software services required to build custom, data secure IoT applications.

John Canali, Omdia Analyst said, “HERE is a unique company in its ability to not only remain vital to the LBS market in the face of organizational and industry changes from their legacy as NAVTEQ, through to Nokia, but also in presenting and executing on their vision of the future. The company has asserted its leadership in ADAS and autonomous driving and is rolling out new and exciting services to address the growing IoT market. After rigorous analysis of major LBS vendors, Omdia has ranked HERE as the clear leader in this space.”

Omdia’s Index further calls out the global diverse investor lineup that HERE has, as well as its strong partnerships and growth prospect from Asia Pacific.

Edzard Overbeek, CEO at HERE Technologies said, “The location industry is advancing significantly as new technologies and datasets are powering new use-cases.
