Windsor, Berks UK, 13 May 2010 – Pitney Bowes Business Insight (PBBI) has today announced the launch of Pitney Bowes MapInfo Professional® v10.5, the latest version of the company’s flagship application for business and mapping analysis. MapInfo Professional enables organisations to capitalise on location-based data, gaining deeper insights into their customers, resources and overall operations to make better informed decisions.

MapInfo Professional v10.5 provides organisations with new and powerful methods for sharing maps across the enterprise. With MapInfo Professional v10.5, organisations can more fully interact with the cloud, including capabilities to publish maps to the cloud and access data from the cloud. Users can publish maps to the cloud using MapInfo Professional v10.5 in conjunction with MapInfo Stratus, the company’s first completely Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based solution for spatial location-based data and services.

MapInfo Professional v10.5 also includes integration with Bing Maps and increased support for key industry standards such as the OGC Catalogue Services Web interface, streamlining access to data residing in the cloud and additional publishing features. By using the new integrated Metadata Browser capability within MapInfo Professional v10.5, public sector organisations will be able to easily search catalogues of spatial data hosted internally by organisations across Europe, as mandated by the EU’s INSPIRE regulations.

MapInfo Professional v10.5 will be fully demonstrated at the MapInfo User Group UK & Ireland event in London on Wednesday 23 June. This will be followed by a series of live webinars entitled "Get INSPIRED with MapInfo Professional v10.5”, which will cover the new features in the software and also include a live demonstration.
