Optum GeoAccess® Geographic Coder Features

Simplicity

GeoCoder links seamlessly with GeoNetworks and other GeoAccess products. Its easy-to-use interface enhances those products with the accuracy of address-based geocoding.

Functionality

GeoCoder is fast and efficient, allowing you to process large data files in minutes. It performs address-based geocoding whenever possible. When address data is unavailable or incomplete, GeoCoder performs representative geocoding, which assigns geographic coordinates based on how the population is distributed within a zip code.

Versatility

GeoCoder also can assign place names such as count, CBSA, and classification, as well as county and state FIPS codes and CBSA codes. In addition, it can add census tract and block group data.

Adaptability

In addition to frequent data updates, this desktop software tool continues to evolve. With the new release of Microsoft® Excel and Access files are easily imported and exported. In addition, geographic data is now available for the U.S. Virgin Islands for tabular reports.

Technical Support

GeoCoder’s annual service agreement includes periodic product enhancements and updates to geographic data. In addition, GeoAccess provides unsurpassed user support and training services—make unlimited calls to GeoCoder’s toll-free user support line as part of your annual service agreement.
