"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

ESRI http://www.esri.com , the Redlands, Calif.-based GIS firm, has developed an iPhone application that provides users with detailed demographic data for any given location. The app, called BAO (Business Analyst Online) http://www.esri.com/baoios , will be available for free at the Apple App Store in coming days.

Originally BAO was built with commercial realtors in mind. But ESRI sources said they realized the app would be useful for government agencies’ economic development initiatives, thanks to the wealth of demographic data the app can access.
