Windsor, 11 June 2008— Pitney Bowes MapInfo, the leading global provider of location intelligence solutions, today announces the release of MapInfo Professional® 9.5, the latest version of the company’s flagship application for business mapping and analysis. The new version offers additional data editing and creation tools, supports Oracle® Database 11g and Microsoft® SQL Server 2008 and provides workgroup enablement features for greater IT support.
“The release of MapInfo Professional 9.5 is a significant milestone,” said Mark Percival, Corporate Systems Manager, Customer & Workforce Services at Coventry City Council.

Also, the inclusion of .NET functionality into the core product code, particularly the style pickers, is very welcome – as .NET is also supported in MapBasic.
“The UK-centric standardised symbol sets, support for Microsoft Server 2008 spatial and more options for curved text are among the long list of new functionality which will be welcomed by all my users here at Coventry – and with translucent vector fills in the mix they’ll think Christmas has come early!”
