13.9.2011 10:30:09 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
NetAcuity Edge provides the industry’s first highly accurate hyperlocal IP geotargeting solution
Digital Element , the leading provider of IP geolocation technology , today announced a global expansion of NetAcuity Edge™ , the first product of its kind to offer highly accurate IP-to-postcode targeting. This non-cookie-based dataset meets the pressing demand from advertising networks, web publishers, search engines, social networks, e-tailers and analytics platforms to offer a richer, safer, more personalized online experience while protecting user privacy.
Based purely on Internet network infrastructure analysis of ISP nodes, and insight derived from Digital Element’s global partners, NetAcuity Edge maintains the traditional user anonymity associated with IP geolocation data while delivering an unprecedented level of IP-to-postcode targeting precision. Originally launched in the United States in 2009 and the UK in 2010, NetAcuity Edge now extends hyperlocal targeting capabilities across all of Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.
NetAcuity Edge is currently being deployed by Alterian (LSE: ALN), the leader in customer engagement technology and solutions, in its WebJourney Analytics solution. WebJourney provides a new kind of web analytics that focuses on creating a more personalized web experience. NetAcuity Edge allows WebJourney to conduct postcode segmentation of web visitors in real-time, giving Alterian clients an extremely powerful tool for understanding and engaging with prospects, customers and website visitors.
“We are finding that our clients clearly recognize the need to be able to segment online audiences and target their messages, however previous technologies touting ‘hyperlocal’ geotargeting simply did not offer the reliability or accuracy that they required,” said Rusty Warner, Vice President, Product Marketing, Alterian. “NetAcuity Edge erases the limitations once associated with postal-code targeting and now offers technology with exceptional granularity—not only in Europe but around the world. Our clients also feel comfortable knowing that no personally identifiable information is collected or stored.”
Postcode precision geotargeting with NetAcuity Edge
Since its initial launch, NetAcuity Edge has revolutionized the IP geolocation space by providing the only validated IP-to-postcode geographic data on the market. While IP targeting techniques traditionally rely on routing infrastructure analysis to an approximate city-level location, NetAcuity Edge combines traditional infrastructure analysis with anonymous insight gleaned from a network of global commercial partners to better map the Internet. The result is the most granular and accurate hyperlocal dataset that maintains user anonymity and complies with the highest standards of end-user privacy.
“With competition intensifying in the digital landscape, this is a breakthrough moment for any business looking to gain a competitive edge by delivering truly relevant messages online,” said Frank Bobo, Digital Element’s Vice President of Business Development. “Online businesses can now better meet consumer demand for personalized content while preserving complete user privacy.”
Digital Element’s clients include the Internet’s leading online retailers, publishers and advertising networks who understand the value in using hyperlocal targeting to make the online experience more personally relevant for their customers.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Low AI fluency, uneven adoption, and marginal productivity gains are limiting enterprise-scale impact According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact.

Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those

New identity reflects expanded vision to help CIOs “See Clearly. Spend Better.” Brightfin today announced that, following its merger with Proven Optics, the combined company will operate under a single brand: Brightfin. The unified company brings together deep expertise in Technology Expense Management (TEM) and IT Financial Management (ITFM) to help organizations better understand, manage, and reduce total technology spend.

Far fewer can tell you whether it’s working. “Over the past several months, we’ve brought these two businesses together around a shared purpose: help enterprise businesses better understand and optimize their technology spend,” said Joel Martins, CEO of Brightfin. “What we are seeing now is a shift. Visibility alone isn’t enough. Teams need to be able to act, tied to real financial outcomes. See Clearly.
