MapInfo Professional enables property/casualty insurance carriers to leverage location-based data for a view of their policyholders, resources, and operations. Now available via a cloud-based portal, data can be accessed and shared to make more strategic decisions in core functional areas such as underwriting, claims, and marketing.

MapInfo Professional 10.5 enables users to create versions of dynamic maps by accessing policyholder and location data from their desktop. The latest version also features publishing options, allowing users to report and share information with more ease. With these new tools, insurance carriers can leverage data across the enterprise.

"Property and casualty carriers are constantly searching for ways to better analyze and access policyholder and market data to more effectively serve and grow customer relationships," says Bill Sinn, strategic industry director, insurance, Pitney Bowes Business Insight. "With MapInfo Professional version 10.5, insurers can geographically view data to more quickly analyze risk across a portfolio and make more intelligent decisions around claims processing, underwriting and market analysis."

Benefits of the new version 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, MapInfo Professional v10.5 customers will be able to access the newly-available Pitney Bowes Business Insight Geosk Platform, the geospatial industry's first location-based data-as-a-service (DaaS) offering. With Geosk, users can search a Metadata browser to locate and open map files right from their desk top 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 shared in standard PDF, Layered PDF and GeoPDF formats as well as published to MapInfo Stratus, Pitney Bowes Business Insight's software-as-a-service web application, for users to share corporate data via a map "in the cloud."
