John,
Thanks for the advice.
PanPages already has 8 million business profiles with Geocode across Southeast Asia. We have 500 people on the street collecting data at the moment.
We are planning to increase it to 20 million business profiles in the next 3 years. We are also adding depth into them with more photos and richer details.
The primary usage is for providing our users in
panpages.com with useful local search results.
The secondary usage is to license to Map players and Location Apps players.
The third usage in the future is business intelligence for enterprises.
We now need some talent to develop the second and third usage.
Do you know any guys that fit the bill?
How is the momentum of big data in Singapore?
We are based in KL.
Cheers
WL
