dct writes "Direction Magazine has a story about the coming of Location Intelligence into the main stream processes of businesses. From the article: "Spatial processing, including standard GIS operations, geocoding, and spatial databases, is rapidly merging into the mainstream enterprise IT structure. Location intelligence is moving away from specific and “special” desktop applications operated and controlled by a few gurus off in the corner. Location intelligence must be integrated and distributed throughout the total business organization to provide all users with the data and analysis for sound business decisions.""

The GEOBlog (spanish) links to a Geospatial Solutions article on the location intelligence and business. From the article: "According to the results, which were released by MapInfo and BusinessWeek on Wednesday, 64 percent of business executives believe that location intelligence can improve business processes. [...] Approximately 80 percent of data that an organization uses to make business decisions has a location-based component. [...] According to a BusinessWeek white paper that was developed from the survey results, British Telecom will realize cost savings of $41 million over the next five years as a result of implementing a location-intelligence solution for its 17,000 field service engineers."
