AnySite Features and Benefits

Feature	Description	Benefit
Easy to Use	In designing AnySite, we studied the workflow of our users to make the user interface as intuitive as possible. Wizards are also available to guide users through the typical flow of processing site reporting and mapping	Application can support a wide range of users of varying technical skills.
Built-In User Efficiencies	AnySite Create Actions capability enables users to create macros to standardize site research processing. Additionally users can export and import report, mapping, and other output preferences.	Decreases the time and effort necessary to generate require output. Also standardizes the results across the community of users. Enables Application Administrator to set and publish the report and mapping standards for users and groups of users.
Flexible means to Locate a Location	AnySite supports a wide variety of intuitive means to locate a site. Choices include: Address, Intersection, Proprietary Location Files, Geographic Centroid, and Map.	Makes the process of finding the exact location very flexible and efficient.
Wide Variety of Supported Study Area Definitions	AnySite has the ability to create study areas using all industry options: Rings, Sectors, Drive Times, Custom Polygon, Market Area Creator (MAC) and/or Geographic Unit Tagging	For Real Estate companies, you can support the way your Retail and Restaurant clients define their trade areas. Retail, Restaurant and Finance clients have the flexibility of defining trade areas to their specific standards.
Multiple Site and Market Analysis	AnySite has the ability to process information on the individual sites, their summary and/or their overlap in one process	Allows users to identify clients who are “shared” proximity wise between multiple sites. Allows for a combination of Trade Areas benchmarks for comparisons of new locations.
Parameter Based Queries	AnySite includes RDBMS based layers with built in prompts to facilitate sophisticated queries for all users. For example: For Talbots we set up a parameter based query that prompts the user for the Store Number and % of sales contribution by ZIP Code. The result was a subset of their stores meeting the defined parameters.	This increases the usability of the system for all users and types of proprietary database.
Increased Performance	AnySite includes enhancements to the AnySite Data Engine (ASDE) that enable map and report generation to take place at a minimum of 3 times faster than version 8.0. For example: A report containing 50+ variables for a three mile ring in central LA (205,000 people) takes less than 2 seconds. The same report for a 60-min. drive time around the Newport Beach office (11.3 million people) is less than 6 seconds.	User can spend more time analyzing the data rather than retrieving it.
Flexible Reporting and Thematic Mapping	Reports in AnySite can contain information pulled from a variety of sources. Sources can be from different database environments and levels of geography. For example: A report can contain the following: 1. From an SQL Database: Point level data aggregating the count of customers. 2. From ASDE: block group level data for any integrated databases (Power Paks). 3. From MapInfo tables: Traffic volumes, count of competitors (MIList), shopping centers, etc 4. ZIP Code level transaction data. Retrieval of non-ASDE resident data is by area apportionment or geographic centroid.	AnySite becomes the “window” into your client’s information world. One solution. Many uses. Increases efficiency and enables and optimizes the value of a client’s proprietary information.
Thompson Predictive Analytic Plug-ins	Predictive Plug-ins developed as a service by the researchers at the Thompson Group can be easily incorporated. The results of these plug-ins are certified by the experience of several Fortune 500 companies. Both Generic and Custom Plug-ins are available	The system can grow to meet the needs of specific users. It serves the most basic needs, but is open to extension to high-end analytics.
Map and Data Outputs	AnySite supports all preferred standard exports for maps and/or data files	This increases the usability of licensed data. It facilitates the population and augmentation of proprietary information and additional processing in other third party software.
User Map Preferences	With AnySite, Real Estate departments can have their “look and feel” for maps and reports and access to the information that is pertinent and necessary to their analysis or their clients.	Flexible response to ad-hoc requested without sacrificing preferred r default settings. Better Efficiency = Time Savings.
Security	Users or groups of users have access
Compatibility with MapInfo Pro	Users have the ability to save maps as MapInfo Workspaces with map layouts. Additionally, users can also export data in MapInfo tab format and/or launch MapInfo Pro from within AnySite.	Supports transfer for higher end GIS processing seamlessly.
Report Editor	Easy to navigate utility to facilitate report customization. Insert spaces, intends, add formulas.	Supports the wide-ranging reporting requirements of our users.
Batch Processing	Any number of Sites and MAC can be generated in a Batch mode. The sites themselves can be selected from the map or from the table. List selections can be saved for future processing. Macros of “Actions” can be created and saved. If the table is not geocoded, it can be geocoded on the fly. Edit Preferences – (System Options) allows the maps and reports to be printed to individual printers.	This is something that makes work a pleasure for our customers. They can sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee, and watch the system work.
Report and Map Packaging	Once a report, thematic or dot density map is defined, a user can bundle any number of reports and maps to a specific package(s).	Real Estate companies who service a variety of Retail clients can efficiently package reports and maps that meet their specific data needs.
Open Data Architecture	AnySite can be integrated with the content vendor that you prefer. MapInfo, AGS and Claritas are the most widely used sources.	Better economics. Removal of sales obstacle that in turn increases probability of closure and shortens the sales cycle.
Logo Picker	On-the-fly users can insert their company’s or their client’s logo on exported and printed maps and reports.	Facilitates efficient customization of AnySite output.
