What's a Geofile?
I think it's probably a proprietary format used by Tiburon dispatch software. In this context "geofile service" would mean converting data in sundry formats into the right format for inclusion in Tiburon. Done that, just never called it a geofile. AGI used ESRI geodatabase files.
"The geofile is a database of standardized locations, including specific house numbers and streets names, commonplace names (Jackson Park), and intersections.

GIS data review
What's Britedata?
It's a set of business intelligence tools/services that are a GDR product. [2] A couple examples: since GDR has amassed a wealth of address data, they can capitalize on this by helping customers clean their own address data by comparing it with GDR data. They can also identify potential clients in a given geographic area that are near existing clients.
Who is using it?
What's earthmine?
It was a Berkeley startup that has been acquired by Nokia and used in Here.
