ESRI Data and GIS Empower Miami Businesses

The City of Miami, Florida's Division of Economic Initiatives recently launched its geographic information system (GIS)-based Web site www.Miami-Sites.com. ESRI business partner MSF Global Solutions, LLC, built the online mapping application to give business leaders around the globe an easy-to-use resource with valuable site, market, and demographic information.

Creating a customized Web site tailored specifically for the city was a top priority. To do that, MSF Global used its Site Intelligence Tool and ESRI's ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Online, and the ESRI Business Analyst Online API to build the application and reporting capabilities. On the Web site, visitors can

• Access up-to-date satellite imagery.
• Search the city's database of available commercial properties according to many factors such as property type, square footage, and price.
• Discover layers of information including zoning, contamination sites, land use, and historic/conservation.
• Create reports with detailed demographic data including income, housing, market, and spending profiles.
