Erik Lindeman

Director of Product Management & Professional Services

As Director of Product Management & Professional Services for OnTerra Systems, Erik Lindeman oversees product management of OnTerra Systems’ various product offerings (RouteSavvy route planning software & RouteSavvy route optimization APIs). He also leads OnTerra Systems’ customer consulting and solution development services, including services for customers that need help migrating their Bing Maps-based applications to alternative mapping platforms before Bing Maps for Enterprise is retired by Microsoft.

Mr. Lindeman brings more than 20 years of experience from multiple positions within Microsoft that spanned technical product management, enterprise customer engagement, and developer advocacy.

 As a Principal Technical Program Manager for Azure Maps and Bing Maps for Enterprise, he managed location-based services, including search, geocoding, routing, traffic, geolocation, and weather. In this role, he was responsible for improving Microsoft location services driven by internal and external customer needs and ensuring that the product enhancements aligned with Azure compliance standards.

During his decades at Microsoft, Mr. Lindeman successfully launched several Microsoft Azure Maps services and features. He also has extensive experience in developing industry-specific data compliance for Azure Maps. As an example, he was instrumental in leading the development efforts for HIPAA compliance in Azure Maps. This work enabled US-based healthcare customers to take advantage of Azure Maps functionality while adhering to HIPAA requirements of maintaining the privacy of customer data.

In addition, he was responsible for helping develop the strategy, planning, and execution of Microsoft’s unification of its enterprise map & geospatial product offerings under Azure Maps to enable customers to do more with location-based services using a modern, cloud approach. This included spearheading the creation of detailed technical documentation, product support resources, and best practices that help customers transition from Bing Maps for Enterprise to Azure Maps. As a result of this experience, Mr. Lindeman brings timely and highly relevant knowledge to the professional services that OnTerra Systems provides to businesses & non-profits that need help migrating off Bing Maps for Enterprise to alternative solutions.
