Prince Edward Island based company Baseline Business Geographics Inc., a provider of integrated desktop and Internet mapping solutions, was the recipient of the MapInfo “Above and Beyond” award recently held in Phoenix, Arizona at MapWorld 2006.
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.
“I am pleased to extend my congratulations to Baseline on receiving this distinguished award,” said Development and Technology Minister Mike Currie. “In receiving this award, the company has demonstrated that Prince Edward Island is an international leader in delivering easy-to-use map-based solutions.”
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.
“Prince Edward Island companies like Baseline are the backbone to our local economy, as small businesses across PEI produce approximately 45% of GDP,” Currie added. “Awards such as this are given to deserving, hard-working and creative companies. We are pleased to see one of our local companies recognized for their innovation solutions.”
