A user-friendly, interactive data tool powered by GIS Planning's industry-leading ZoomProspector software ensures that businesses making location decisions can view available commercial sites and buildings and research critical demographic, workforce, consumer spending, talent, and business data. The St. Tammany Corporation also makes extensive use of the standalone Intelligence Components to add interactive data to their web pages, such as Community Profile infographics, talent pool data to track degrees conferred and top programs of study in the region, demographic data and much more.

”GIS Planning data tools provide easy, direct access to the specific location, workforce and talent, and industry data businesses, organizations, and individuals need to make critical decisions,” explains Chris Masingill, Chief Executive Officer of St. Tammany Corporation.
