Abstract
Having worked with geospatial technology in the insurance industry since 2003 I had my eyes opened to open source at FOSS4G 2013 in Nottingham. I came away excited and energised by what I had seen and it planted the idea for how we could do things differently. 2 years later I quit my day job as a contract solutions architect and took a big pay cut to create Addresscloud, our aim to tackle the complex geocoding challenges faced by UK/I insurers. 3 years on we have gone from strength to strength and are now a profitable, rapidly growing business with a portfolio of customers from startups to FTSE 100 companies. In this talk I will discuss our journey, challenges along the way and our lessons learned.
