Case Studies on Master Address Database
Kern County Master Address Database Needs Assessment

Challenge
Kern County had no single complete, accurate, and current address list that could be used as the authoritative list of business and residential locations for providing essential services. This limited the ability for Count departments to coordinate efforts and integrate information across business systems.
Solution
Farallon Geographics completed a Master Address Database needs assessment and budget plan for a single, centralized address source or MAD to solve the problem of duplicated and error-prone addresses. Read more details...

City of Oakland, CA Enterprise GIS and Master Address Database Development

Challenge
The City of Oakland wanted to improve the efficiency, automation and integration of its location-based data, improve the usefulness and accuracy of its existing parcel data, and develop an enterprise geodatabase to expand city services.
Solution
Farallon built an enterprise-scale parcel database using spatially accurate orthophotographs and then implemented a master address database (MAD), providing the City with a comprehensive inventory of the City's addresses. The system also tied in other outside data sources including the Alameda Assessor's property database and Oakland permit tracking database. Read more details...

City of San Mateo Master Address Database

Challenge
Addresses are a key dataset used by the City of San Mateo to provide essential services. No single complete, accurate, and current address list existed within the City that could be used as the authoritative list of business and residential locations. This limited the ability for City departments to coordinate efforts and integrate information across business systems.

Oakland uses orthophotography & enterprise GIS for parcel management and economic analysis

Challenge
The City of Oakland wanted to improve the usefulness and accuracy of its existing parcel data and integrate it with an enterprise geodatabase to expand city services across multiple departments.
Solution
Farallon and its team built an enterprise-scale parcel database using spatially accurate orthophotographs and integrated it with a new master address database, which was created in just six months. That high level of integration meant that any City information with a spatial or property component could be spatially enhanced, including property review, permit tracking, land-use planning and notification, and E-911 dispatch.
