Data is both the solution
Data is both the solutionand the problem.
By 2020, 1.7 megabytes of data will be created every second, for every person on earth.

Planning Technology is Struggling to Keep Up.
Data, Scenarios, Analytics – Anywhere in the USA
Data Library
Scenario Planning
Real-Time Analytics
Three key features optimize planners’ day-to-day tasks.
1. Extensive Data LibraryAccess to the nationwide Base
Canvas with over 100 additional
reference layers.
2. Scenario Planning WorkflowsDevelop unlimited scenarios in a snap with
a comprehensive set of Building and Place
Types.
3. Real-Time Analytics ModulesFoster community consensus with clear
reporting. Evaluate and share plan impacts
at the outset.
