   | Latitude | The latitude of the company, if applicable. This field is populated by a business rule called get_lat_long.

## What to do next

Normalize company data to create consistency when referring to a company name, such as a vendor or manufacturer. For more information see, [Normalization data services](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_YxrF~AU0hqH1i6rHOqImA "The Normalization Data Services plugin helps maintain consistency for table fields that refer to a company name.").
