Troy, NY- July 28, 2010—Pitney Bowes Software today announced Pitney Bowes MapInfo Professional v10.5, the latest version of the company’s flagship application for business and mapping analysis. MapInfo Professional enables communications providers to leverage location-based data for a more insightful view of their customers, resources and operations to drive strategic business decisions. Now available via cloud-based portal, this critical data can be accessed and shared more easily than ever before to improve business across the provider enterprise.
MapInfo Professional 10.5 enables users to access valuable customer and location data from their desktop quickly and easily for simplified creation of dynamic maps. The latest version also features enhanced publishing options, allowing users to report and share information with more ease. With these new, powerful tools, communications and utility providers can better leverage data across the enterprise for more informed decision making, from marketing to network management and customer service.
Benefits of MapInfo Professional 10.5 include:
- Enhanced Data Access – The latest version features the ability to access map data with Tile Server technology and integration of Microsoft’s Bing™ global aerial data. Additionally, using a Metadata browser, MapInfo Professional v10.5 customers will be able to search a location-based data-as-a-service (DaaS) portal for map data right from their desktop by typing just a few keywords.
- Simplified Map Creation and Ease-of-Use – New multiple style override capabilities allow users to manipulate specific formats and labels, while a table list window provides easy searching of data tables for simplified content organization, updating and exporting.
- Improved Sharing Capabilities – New publishing options allow for maps to be easily shared in standard PDF, Layered PDF and geo-referenced PDF formats as well as published to MapInfo® Stratus™, Pitney Bowes Software’s software-as-a-service web application, for users to share corporate data via a map “in the cloud.”
“The ability to leverage customer and demographic data for business decisions is a significant competitive advantage for communications and wireless network providers,” said Christopher Cherry, director, communications vertical strategy, Pitney Bowes Software. “MapInfo Professional version 10.5 enables companies to access this critical data and enhanced mapping capabilities ‘in the cloud’ for creating, using and sharing information more quickly and easily than ever before.
