MB-Research Release 2021 of the Digital Boundaries published

MB-Research publishes its new Release 2021 of the administrative, postal and microgeographical digital boundaries.

With the updated boundaries "Release 2021", Michael Bauer Research GmbH provides the latest version of the territorial status for your geomarketing analysis. In addition to updated layers, MB-Research was able to enlarge its inventory of postal layers.

As of now MB-Research Digital Boundaries for the following countries are available:

• Great Britain (Postcode Units),
• the Netherlands (6-digit Postcode Areas),
• Japan (7-digit Postcode Areas),
• Indonesia (5-digit Postcode Areas),
• Malaysia (5-digit Postcode Areas) and
• Vietnam (5-digit Postcode Areas)

MB-Research offers about 1,000 layers for 248 countries vector-based as .shp (ESRI)- and .tab (MapInfo)-format, on request .gdb (GeoDataBase)-format and other formats can be provided. In addition to the administrative, postal and microgeographic layers, NUTS-layers are available as well.

Suitable for use with the Digital Boundaries, MB-Research offers compatible market data (Purchasing Power, MB-Research Consumer Styles, Sociodemographic Data, Consumer Spending, etc.) on the administrative, postal and microgeographic levels.

Innovation with the Release 2021: Additional Names

With the new Release 2021 of MB-Research Digital Boundaries, each package additionally contains "Additional Names" as an Excel spreadsheet. These tables contain country-specific information on the names and languages available in each country, as well as their language and writing systems.

The "Additional Names" can be used for various applications, for example, names in the country-specific writing system as support for query and analysis processes.
A uniform column structure of the ("Additional Names") tables also facilitates the cross-country interaction of language information.
