History
The company was founded in 2009 by Daniel Perrone.
BroadMap followed the developments of the Broadband Data Improvement Act (BDIA) and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act legislation. Initially, there were only a few companies with the expertise needed to meet the requirements detailed in the legislation; market leaders had experience in the demand-side of the solution, but outsourced the supply-side efforts.
After the purchase of Tele Atlas by TomTom, the company decided to focus primarily on navigation which has been used extensively for years for business geographics. BroadMap aims to fill the gap for enterprise-oriented mapping data as a platform for business.<ref name=fillsgap/>
BroadMap enables U.S. states and territories to fully deliver the detailed requirements of the BDIA.<ref nameConnectMaps/><ref namebroadbandroundtwo/>
