dramatic leap in desktop location intelligence

technology. With new connectivity options to

Envinsa, MapInfo’s enterprise location platform,

and MapMarker, the premier geocoding solution,

Web Services and Direct Connectivity

MapInfo Professional v8.5 offers the ability to

access web services and to directly connect to

enterprise solutions so you can leverage a wide

array of capabilities. Through menu options,

you can connect to Envinsa or hosted Envinsa

Online Services to perform batch geocoding

and address lookup or to create driving regions.

Or you can connect to MapMarker for gecoding

and address lookup.

This enables you to quickly location-enable

your data and bring it into MapInfo Professional

for analysis. For example, a retail firm wants

to perform trade area analysis for four outlets.

By connecting to MapMarker, they geocode

their customer database and map the results in

MapInfo Professional. Next, they access Envinsa

to create five, ten and fifteen minute drivetime

areas. The results enable them to analyze which

stores draw what customers and to better target

sale promotions.

EXAMPLE: A cable firm gets real time traffic conditions

and accident reports to route their service personnel in

the most efficient manner.

In addition to connectivity to Envinsa and

MapMarker, there is MapBasic® support for

HTTP, XML and FTP. This support enables you

to connect to services including RSS feeds such

as Yahoo traffic and XML interfaces to enterprise

applications such as SAP or Business objects.

You also can communicate with FTP services to

dynamically download data.

EXAMPLE: An insurance firm accesses RSS weather

forecast feeds to identify customers at risk of an

approaching hurricane.

Visualization and Analytics

There are many new features and enhancements

around visualization and analytic capabilities.

These include:

• The ability to perform on-the-fly raster and grid

re-projections and rotations

EXAMPLE: Using on-the-fly grid image re-projection

and rotation a mining geologist dynamically visualizes

mineshaft strata.

• Consolidation of the Grid format between

Vertical Mapper® and MapInfo Professional so

you can use the info tool to get grid values,

generate a grid legend, change colors and range

or view in 3D

Overview

Connect to web services such as

Envinsa® and MapMarker® to batch

geocode, look up addresses and create

drivetime polygons.
