Autoaddress, the leading supplier of Eircode Address Solutions in Ireland, has acquired Data Ireland, the leading provider of business and consumer data.

One of the most useful tables in the Eircode Address Database is the ADMINISTRATIVE_INFO table. You can determine if a building is in a Gaeltacht area, or what Local Authority its in. Most usefully you can use it to link to the Census to get information at Electoral Division and Small Area level. We have incorporated the latest data that provides compatibility with Census 2016, you'll need to make a minor change to how you call our API to upgrade to the latest data.
When Eircode was launched the latest Census was 2011. Census 2016 has been released and Eircode have added fields to the latest ADMINISTRATIVE_INFO table to return both the original administrative data related to Census 2011 and updated data provided by Ordnance Survey that relates to Census 2016.
As described in the Eircode Product Guide and Release Notes for Q317 the existing fields have been overwritten with the new 2017 data. The previous data is now stored in separate columns with _2015_ added to the column name. This is a major change, but it was well flagged in the Q217 release notes by Eircode.

In recent weeks our real-time address entry solution Autoaddress 2.0 has surpassed 100,000 address transactions per day. While our API may be called multiple times per address, an address transaction equates to each individual address that has been entered via our customers' websites, apps, CRM, etc. Total API calls (excluding autocomplete keystrokes) average over 2.5 million per week.

Join us for a FREE half-day conference on Eircode Success Stories, which will take place on Tuesday, November 1st, 2016 at the Marker Hotel in Dublin from 8:30 am until lunchtime. Many organisations have now implemented Eircode solutions within their businesses, and this event offers a unique opportunity to learn from their experience.

We are delighted to announce the release of Autoaddress 1.8, our most significant release since Autoaddress 1.0 was launched in January 2011. This blog will provide a brief overview of the release highlights, the detailed information is available in our new support centre as described below.

This blog is a second in a series of blogs describing new products and features that will be available in our October Autoaddress 1.8 launch.

We've been a bit quiet lately with our blogs and updates, it's the usual story that we've been so busy with a major software and functionality upgrade that we haven't had the time to let our customers know what we're doing.
