GeoRisk specializes in Location-Based Services (LBS) using the state-of-the-art in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).  We essentially "location-enable" your data and/or systems to leverage your business-intelligent decision making, by adding a very powerful, yet often neglected, spatial dimension to data your already have.

Whether your data is comprised of lists of customers, partners, vendors, suppliers, service centers, distributers, employees, offices, properties, trucks, jobs, classifieds, phone directories, e-mail addresses, network addresses, or listings of any kind; they all have one fundamental thing in common – and that is location.  Given a location, be it static as with physical addresses or dynamic as with mobile devices, there is a wealth of information to lookup for that specific locality.

Location-awareness is becoming even more critical than ever before, especially with globalization, end-user mobility, and the pervasiveness of smart-machines and broadband.  And as the boundaries between PC's, handheld devices and mobile phones blur, it is imperative to get the information you need, when you need it, where ever you are, on demand.  In a nutshell, if you ever thought there must be an easier way to figure out any information specific to where you are, think location-based services from GeoRisk.

GeoRisk was founded in 1996 by a Stanford Ph.D. graduate, Aladdin Nassar, who specializes in Risk Management & GIS Consulting.  GeoRisk has cut out a niche of its own in location-based services for the insurance, financial, real estate, telecommunications, education and government sectors.

GeoRisk is a small privately-owned software & consulting firm based in the Silicon Valley of the San Francisco Bay Area, a few miles south of Stanford University.  It would be a shame for a company that specializes in location-based services not to pick the best location in the world for its office, unparalleled in its human, financial, and technical resources, aside from its natural beauty.
