40. Show me area of control for each distribution outlet. Every point within each polygon is closest to the controlling point. Show me the distance on the ground between points or along a route. Plot the route a courier van took or draw a line from the store to its best customers. Route / Site Planning
41. Augment business data with demographic data, eg Sales vs. population. Use “as the crow flies” circles. Demographic Analysis Show charts on regions
42. Export to Google Earth to show Points of Interests and 3D view Show Google Streets Layer WMS Layers Integrations Export as a WMS Layer for import into another application
43. Integeo Map Intelligence Independent of business domain Seamless, synchronized integration between BI, GIS Merge business data with external geographic factors Advanced visualizations Interactive, dynamic web applications No programming skills needed by developers Vendor-neutral

Editor's Notes
Insurance - an insurer offering flood-loss coverage could improve the otherwise manual and labor-intensive process of physically comparing a potential customer’s address to existing flood zone maps to determine the eligibility and premiums of such a policy.
