SEATTLE, WA, May 8, 2007 -- Pitney Bowes MapInfo, the leading global provider of location intelligence solutions, today announced the release of MapInfo Professional® 9.0, the latest version of the company’s flagship application for business mapping and analysis. The enhanced MapInfo Professional offers several new advantages including support for the Microsoft Windows Vista® platform, enhanced database support, direct access to more data formats, and the power to combine time and location-based analysis.

“MapInfo Professional provides direct access to multiple forms of data, regardless of the format, enabling our bureau to consistently use the most up-to-date and accurate information available,” said Gena Denis, GIS coordinator for the Maine Department of Conservation, Bureau of Parks and Lands. “Now with MapInfo Professional, we have instant access to all forms of data, which has delivered enormous savings in time and resources.”

MapInfo Professional is a sophisticated mapping application that enables organizations to leverage data with a location component, leading to more insightful business and public safety decisions. In this newest enhancement, MapInfo Professional delivers features and capabilities that enable users to access, analyze and map their data in new ways and more efficiently. MapInfo Professional 9.0 offers:

Superior Data Access: MapInfo Professional 9.0 provides direct access to new geographic or infrastructure data formats—including CAD and competing vendors. This feature facilitates best-in-class product use, saving translation time and effort for end users, while simplifying data management. The new data access capability allows users to add up to 150 additional formats. This capability enables customers to analyze almost any data format directly from MapInfo Professional.

Time-based Data Support: New capability permits correlations between location and time-based activity. For users tracking time-sensitive information, such as crime data, traffic flows, accident data or emergency vehicle movement, this provides the ability to analyze information based on location and time of day in order to better predict time-sensitive trends and improve decision making.

Greater Deployment Flexibility: MapInfo Professional offers organizations more flexibility to meet today’s diverse IT requirements, including the deployment of MapInfo Professional via silent installs, which facilitates automated deployments of MapInfo Professional to large groups of users, to best fit organizational needs. With support for Microsoft Windows Vista, Citrix® and Terminal services, flexible deployment options mean the investment of less IT time.

Improved Usability: Improved product interface for data analysis, map production and improved labeling allows MapInfo Professional users to spend more time on analysis of data.

“The enhanced data integration, time-sensitive data and multiple deployment options available in MapInfo Professional 9.0 make it an integral asset to enterprises looking to gain more value from their data,” said David Sonnen, senior consultant at IDC. “The ability to work with multiple data formats is a significant advancement that enables companies to better utilize the location component of their data.”

“MapInfo has always been a pioneer in the location intelligence arena due to our dedication to anticipating and satisfying the needs of our customers, and MapInfo Professional delivers on organizations’ needs to simplify, integrate and expedite their most important decisions,” said Michael Hickey, executive vice president of operations, Pitney Bowes MapInfo. “With MapInfo Professional 9.0, organizations can work with a diverse data format environment, easily access the information and engage with the application and spend more time visualizing and understanding their opportunities and challenges in the market.”
