Redefine partnering: Open Data as a Service - OpenDataSoft

"Partners worldwide are leveraging the Open Data as a Service platform to rapidly deliver new applications for Open Data and Smart City. “Open Data” has traditionally been associated with government transparency initiatives, or the publication of information related to how government operates. More and more governments however, together with the private companies that serve them, have discovered that there is a wealth of information trapped in both public and private data silos. And that combining and publishing these data sets unleashes creative new uses and value – for themselves, their constituencies, and their customers.

NEW DATA IN NEW COMBINATIONS CREATES NEW SERVICES

At OpenDataSoft we have witnessed first-hand how our partners have leveraged Open Data as a Service to deliver new applications based upon this emerging network of shared information. These new applications cleverly combine data from public sources and private enterprises to enable everything from bike sharing to energy management. From helping school systems reduce student drop-out rates to intelligent water metering-as-a-service. Or to help customers find the most convenient parking space during the crowded festival season.

ODAAS: A PLATFORM BUILT FOR PARTNERS

OpenDataSoft realized the need for enabling data publication and visualization years ago, and designed our Open Data as a Service platform from the ground up to be partner friendly. By combining the best qualities of a highly scalable SaaS data platform with elastic search and an open source front-end, ODaaS enables systems integrators, IT services, MSPs, and ISVs to rapidly collect, analyze, and publish data from both public and private data sources. Our approach to automatic API generation allows for anyone to integrate easily with new or existing solutions.

The result: rapid deployment of new services, new applications and new use cases at scale.

THE OPENDATASOFT DATA NETWORK: SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE

OpenDataSoft customers and clients receive an additional benefit – the OpenDataSoft Data Network. As a free service, OpenDataSoft maintains a worldwide federated network of datasets published by our users, our partners, and other third parties. Available with a simple point and click, this rapidly expanding data network contains thousands of relevant data sets available to enable and enhance private data. And Open Data as a Service allows partners to choose which data to make public and which to retain for private use as the use case requires.
