P&GJ: When you speak to customers, what do you regard as their biggest needs? Dangermond: We hear a lot from customers about the constraints of the economy and how GIS might help them to save money and become more efficient. Let's face it: our customers come to us because they have problems - geographic problems, like trying to figure out the best place to put something, minimizing the effects of what they are doing, as well as problems with efficiency, money, limited resources ... these are all things that GIS does well. They are problems that GIS has quite the proven track record of solving. It seems that when the economy is good, people really value GIS, and when the economy is bad, people value GIS even more.
