TORONTO, Oct. 17, 2013 /CNW/ - DMTI Spatial, the Canadian leader in location-based data quality solutions, today announced it has been acquired by Europe-based mailroom solutions provider Neopost.

The European leader and global supplier of mail solutions, Neopost is progressively building a portfolio of new activities to enhance its offer and support its clients' needs in areas of Customer Communications Management, Data Quality and Shipping Solutions, including logistics and traceability.  Neopost has a direct presence in 30 countries, with 6,000 employees and annual sales of €1.1 billion in 2012. Its products and services are sold in more than 90 countries.

"The DMTI team is thrilled to be joining Neopost," said John Fisher, CEO, DMTI Spatial. "This acquisition will benefit DMTI and most importantly, our customers. Being part of Neopost's large, multinational organization will provide DMTI with the necessary investment and resources to enhance our rich, location-based solutions for our customers and partners and extend them to new markets and new geographies."

The acquisition will enable both companies to deliver exceptional product and software offerings to a global market. DMTI Spatial will join Neopost's Data Quality business unit. Location based software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions developed by DMTI Spatial are readily adaptable to other countries and cultures and effectively complement Neopost's portfolio of customer and address-focused solutions.

According to Gartner, the market for data quality tools has become highly visible in recent years as more organizations understand the impact of poor-quality data and seek solutions for improvement. Neopost/Human Inference is positioned in the visionaries' quadrant of Gartner's influential 2013 Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools, a market that was approximately $960 million in software related revenue at the end of 2012.

"We are committed to DMTI's product line of location based services," said Enno Ebels, Executive Vice President Customer Information Management, the Data Quality Solutions unit of Neopost. "Neopost will invest into further growth and expansion of their core Geospatial Information System (GIS) and SaaS offerings, which we see as a perfect complement to our existing and future address, customer and Master Data Management related solutions."
