GIS Planning is leading the movement to revolutionize economic development. Today, over 11,500 cities including the majority of the 100 largest cities in the USA are already participating in this movement by using GIS Planning’s Geographic Information System (GIS) Software as a Service technology. We are actively building a scalable online system that makes communities more economically vibrant and businesses more successful, even in the face of the global economic crisis. This effort is enabled through a technology partnership between GIS Planning and state and local economic development organizations to directly serve the needs of millions of businesses located in the United States today, and new countries in the future. At GIS Planning we take pride in combining our online GIS services with our unique business intelligence, and distributing it freely through partner organizations to create a healthier economy, grow jobs, bridge the digital divide, and reduce poverty. In addition, GIS Planning invented ZoomProspector.com, a free website that enables businesses to find the optimal location to start-up, expand or relocate based on the specific community characteristics that matter most to their companies. ZoomProspector.com is used by businesses around the world, and has been featured in numerous media such as Forbes, Fortune, BusinessWeek, and The New York Times, to name just a few. |
