May 24, 2006

Phoenix, Arizona – May 24, 2006 - Baseline Business Geographics Inc., a provider of integrated desktop and Internet mapping solutions, was the recipient of the MapInfo “Above and Beyond” award recently at MapWorld 2006 in Phoenix, Arizona.  MapInfo Partner Awards recognize outstanding overall sales achievement and superior performance within key geographies and specific markets.  Baseline was recognized for their innovative ‘Economic Development Analyzer’ (EDA) application and their commitment to economic development organizations throughout North America.

“It is an honor to be recognized by an organization like MapInfo Corporation who is the world leader in the location intelligence field,” said Frank MacEachern, President of Baseline Business Geographics Inc.  “Having been a business partner of MapInfo Corp. for 12 years, I know how innovative and professional my fellow MapInfo Partners are; having been singled out to receive an award like this is a testament to my very talented staff.”

“We are delighted to honor Baseline Business Geographics Inc., with this year's “Above and Beyond” award as part of our 2006 Partner Awards program,” said Mark Cattini, President and CEO of MapInfo Corporation. "Their innovative solutions continue to demonstrate the value of location intelligence to Economic Development Organizations and the other industries they support."

EDA is a user-friendly interactive mapping tool that combines “the facts” on properties for sale and vacant land with demographics and a wealth of other relevant community information into an Internet-based information system. It will give site selectors and developers an immediate and powerful insight into a community to make a well-informed location decision. 

Baseline works with Economic Development Officers who want to develop a consistent presentation of their available data, consolidate all that data/information into a “one-window” approach, and reduce the turnaround time it takes to provide information to a prospective client.
