Summary of Key Concepts

• Access to DigitalGlobe’s entire archive, Landsat, Sentinel, Radarsat, and your own data (aerial, drone, vector).

• Ability to develop your own algorithm for internal use, or for sale to external users to build a revenue share model

• Ability to take advantage of already built algorithms to solve your business problems, or to build new markets

• Pricing is based on how much data you store, and how much computing power you use

• Imagery data is not delivered and licensed. The imagery is only rented out temporarily in the cloud while analysis is conducted, and only analysis results are delivered and licensed to GBDX users.

These are the important concepts that allow customers to conduct analysis at scale to delivery new and innovative solutions
