1. Problem Statement

Advances in technology and the construction of a more intelligent framework 
to collect and analyze data will assist many organizations in evaluating and
determining the potential impacts of alternative policies and strategies.
Digital Videolog and GPS, combined with a GIS environment provides a very
powerful, data rich environment for site analysis, real estate, inventory 
and traffic routing.  This paper summarizes Mandli systems experience in
Alaska, Arizona, Minnesota, Iowa, Northern Illinois, Ohio and Orlando.
