Answering the Where question in your reports

Ok I hear all this talk about iMIS 15 and I am really excited about it but I can't sit still until I ask this question

will iMIS 15 support geocode? I soo wish iMIS had a geocode (Lat,Lng) float fields in the Name_Address table. I had to go to a third party to provide my company geocodes and it seems kind of silly since we already have a Address validator built in with Accumail.

With having a geocode for all the addresses, lets you do things like compare distances between two addresses. List how many members live in my zipcode...etc

But most important it helps the users and the iMIS customers answer the WHERE questions in their reports. Where are best chapters? what region has the most members??

With Google,Yahoo and Microsoft Maps changing the face of websites. I think it will be very very nice if iMIS rode that wave and provided a tool that their customers will want to use

Below is example of a google map I have added to our iMIS Dashboard. This graph answers the question...Where? Where did my chapters collect the most food? Where did they reach the goal of 8,5000 lbs?
