Backed by UberMedia's best-in-class accuracy, quality and scale, Vista AI provides businesses with access to tailored, market-level insights regarding their consumers and competitors, while successfully navigating the complexities associated with individual device data. Vista AI's simple online interface allows users to easily construct highly customized location queries to find solutions to their business challenges. Using Vista AI's powerful technology, UberMedia is then able to analyze quickly and return fully anonymized data sets from its vast network of mobile location data suppliers, delivered in a variety of formats, including insight datasets, interactive reports, or even an API.

"With the California Consumer Privacy Act coming into effect in 2020, our goal is not only to comply with consumer privacy legislation, but also to give customers the peace of mind that they can still use our platform to answer their business questions with fully anonymized and aggregated insights."

Vista AI expands UberMedia's leadership in using location intelligence to enhance business strategy for diverse industries, including commercial real estate, retail and tourism. In addition to announcing the beta launch for Vista AI, UberMedia also announced the launch of Mobile Location Data University (MLDU), the industry's first online resource center dedicated to educating businesses and consumers on the complexities, uses, and analytic potential of mobile location data. MLDU is sponsored by UberMedia and TSCG Analytics, and includes partners such as Environics Analytics, Miren.co, BI Spatial, and X-Mode. As an independent, online resource, MLDU will feature educational content contributed by industry leaders, changemakers, and thought leaders to better educate consumers and support professionals working with mobile location data. Through easily accessible lessons in the form of articles, videos, and downloadable documents, MLDU makes learning mobile location data and understanding its potential as simple as possible. "As the location intelligence market has expanded, the level of noise, misinformation, and misleading marketing claims have grown in parallel to the business opportunities. We heard loud and clear from our customers that there is a pressing need for independent expertise dedicated to providing clarity in this crowded marketplace," said Gregg Katz, Chief Strategy Officer at TSCG Analytics. He added, "We're excited that UberMedia also recognized this need and co-sponsored this valuable resource with us. " At its release, MLDU includes non-technical educational content that assists analysts, marketers and business managers at various stages of working with mobile location data. From a basic glossary to advanced concepts on trade area modeling, MLDU defines mobile location data, details how to use it, and recommends ways to work with vendors through informative articles explaining what questions to ask mobile location data vendors and how to evaluate their responses. "From our interactions with the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) in the media and marketing industry, we realized that an equivalent need existed in the mobile location data market," said Kerry Pearce, Chief Product Officer and SVP Engineering at UberMedia. "We take pride in launching MLDU and look forward to continuing to work with our partners and competitors to further the development of an ethical and responsible industry resource."
