IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - May 11, 2010) - Digital Map Products (DMP), a leading provider of cloud-based spatial technology solutions, today announced a partnership with the Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR) to deliver innovative mapping capability to its members. HAR, the largest local REALTOR® association in the United States, selected DMP's SaaS spatial developer solutions to enhance its award-winning member and consumer facing sites.
Margie Dorrance, Chair of the Board of HAR, said the Association is continually seeking new technology to help its REALTORS® drive business and deliver client value. "Spatial technology empowers our members and consumers with the advantages of unique local data to conduct more sophisticated analysis, understand market trends and identify better real estate opportunities. DMP will help us continue our leadership position on the cutting edge of location solutions," said Dorrance.
HAR is leveraging DMP's ParcelStream™ web service and its interactive mapping features in its online applications. ParcelStream™ is a nationwide parcel boundary solution that bundles access to parcel boundary data with mapping display technologies. It allows developers to add spatial data and features into their sites without the burden of having to acquire, integrate and maintain the data and technology themselves.
"HAR is known for blazing trails in the MLS technology arena," said DMP President and CEO Jim Skurzynski. "They are the perfect match for our Spatial Developer Solutions because it lets them bring leading-edge mapping tools to their members, without it being an all-consuming task. With DMP, HAR can maintain strategic focus and still rapidly evolve its innovative MLS solutions."
"With ParcelStream™ we added parcel boundaries to our application in a matter of minutes -- something we never thought possible," said Taqi Rizvi, Chief Technology Officer of HAR. "Now, HAR has access to the latest spatial technology and data, without needing to invest in spatial technology as a core competency."
