Operating Companies

Some of the shared characteristics of the companies include:

• All deliver information solutions and tools for the manipulation and analysis of the information.
• All collect, manage, and process large quantities of data, turning it into valuable information.
• All of them provide an outsourcing function, a product or service that improves upon what a company could do itself.
• Many of them assist their clients in managing risk.
• Many employ Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that are applied to property related databases.
• All distribute their information electronically.
