New feature: Download infographic sections

Communicating economic development data in compelling and easy-to-digest formats can be a challenge. We all know too well how quickly one's eyes glaze over faced with rows and columns of text and numbers. Our wildly popular community profile infographics addressed this issue by packaging key data points in attractive, interactive formats, enabling the end user to search for the information they need.

Google Trends data confirms a sustained interest in the use of infographics to convey complex data and tell stories. This handy infographic about economic development infographics provides even more convincing information about the value of these graphics.

Our clients love the look and functionality of the infographics, whether embedded as a Community Profile report within ZoomProspector Enterprise, or a standalone Community Profile Intelligence Component (click for live examples). Best of all, since the data is automatically updated by GIS Planning, clients never need to worry their infographics will be out of date. As more and more communities used the tools, we began to hear for requests for more flexibility in how these sleek new reports, so that the sections could be separated and downloaded for newsletters, social media and reporting.
