Module 5: Geographic Information Systems

in a given geographic region by ZIP Code, county, and so on
- Query Dun & Bradstreet's 16 million businesses
to locate potential customers

determine where you should develop new stores and offices
- Create meaningful reports with maps, demographics,
sales analysis, territories and more in Microsoft Office documents such
