How we view, collect, and process data has gone through a revolutionary transformation. Roughly 45 years ago, the most widely disseminated image of the Earth was captured by NASA, The Blue Marble. Eight years ago, smartphones were invented – forever changing the way we take images and store and collect data. Now, companies like CartoDB are ushering in the age of data analysis.

Location intelligence is an often heard term, but what it means and how it can benefit businesses, institutions and individuals may not be immediately obvious. Location intelligence is more than analysis of geospatial information or geographic information systems alone, it is the capability to visualize spatial data to identify and analyze relationships. Evolving from GIS, location intelligence provides analytic and operational solutions across organizations.How does all this data help people, and what about the customer or client? Organizations have discovered that data can be one of the best ways to get insights about customers and how to serve them better, increasing brand loyalty and improving customer relationship management. Linking customer addresses to a geographic area and then running these against internal company data and external demographics such as census data and income data, or other open data can provide unprecedented levels of detail. Who people are, what they do, and how and when they consume is tied to the where in essential ways. What is their neighborhood, commute, and workplace?

With the news that Google is shuttering its Google Maps Engine product (GME) in less than a year, many new clients have come to CartoDB in search of a “new home” for their geospatial needs. For organizations still looking at migrating from GME to CartoDB, our partners over at CloudSherpas have covered in detail both “why” CartoDB is a great choice and the technical “how” of the transition (hint: it’s easy!). But any large organizational software migration can be challenging to wrap one’s head around, which is why we wanted to go a step further and compare, 1-on-1, some common workflows and uses of GME (right from the GME documentation) and how one would accomplish those same tasks within CartoDB. Read on to discover just how easy it can be to move to CartoDB!

CartoDB has an excellent and easy-to-use synced tables feature, that reads data from a public URL on a regular schedule and keeps an associated CartoDB table up-to-date. However, synced tables require the data to be publicly available so CartoDB can read it, and that the destination table get over-written at each update.

WMS! What, more stuff? We make software, with map standards: Web Map Server. That is to say, CartoDB now offers the possibility of making its visualizations viewable via the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Server (WMS) and Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) standards. The newest, hippest maps on the web just got “old school”.
