Place Data Visually Translate Your Statistical Information
laceData is a
suite of tools for working with data with geographic
components, such as sales territories, demographics, or
store locations. This highly visual and intuitive
software was developed because,
after years of working on database solutions for their customers, CSG recognized a trend. At
company after company, business managers and executives need answers to geographic questions
such as what sales territory a prospective customer is in or how many people live within 50
miles of a specific location. Traditional database software is not well-equipped to answer these questions,
and most Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are overly complex and expensive. “Many of our clients
were scratching their heads trying to figure out how to take their demographic or sales data and make it work
with their databases," says CSG Principal Consultant Steve Chalem. "Some were looking to see visual representations of their markets, others were trying to set up territorial quotas. Of course there were lots of ways to do this, but they all involved custom software. There had to be a better way.""Once we saw the need," adds Chalem, "we began to construct an easy-to-implement solution that uses readily available,
inexpensive data." By using the tools and expertise already developed by CSG, geographical information
can be integrated into your database application quickly and efficiently.
