CoreLogic – CLGX – Acquires CDS Business Mapping
NYSE:CLGX), a leading residential property information, analytics and services provider, today announced the acquisition of CDS Business Mapping, LLC (CDS). CDS, based in Middletown, Conn., delivers critical underwriting information to over 700 insurance carriers, agents and brokers nationwide through real-time reports that identify property-specific geographic hazards including distance to coast, flood zones, rating territories, proximity to brush, wind pool eligibility and earthquake information.

“The use of CoreLogic Spatial Solutions data and analytics has been expanding rapidly over the past several years in response to a growing demand by our clients for real-time geocoded property and hazard-related data, analytics and risk management services,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Anand Nallathambi. “The acquisition of CDS complements and expands our existing natural hazard risk management offerings and extends our client relationships deeper into the P&C vertical.”
