The solution can easily be integrated into existing corporate databases as it comes with MapInfo Professional which is regarded in the market as the world’s leader in location business intelligence. Using MapInfo Professional's robust DBMS, it makes it a lot easier to connect to Oracle, or SQL Server or other databases effortlessly to bring to live the content of a bank’s database"

This type of solution will enhance the making of fast and informed corporate decisions and it will easily provide returns on investment within a relatively shorter time"

STRATEGIC DECISIONS FOR BANKS USING STL'S INTEGRATED GIS SOLUTION: This solution can be useful for any bank in Nigeria in the following areas:
1) BANK AND ATM SITE ANALYSIS : e.g Where should the next Access Bank's branch in Ibadan be sited?
2) BANK NETWORK COMPETITIVENESS/OPTIMIZATION: e.g are the branches of Oceanic bank in Surulere making more profit than the ones at Isolo?
3) COMPETITOR INTELLIGENCE MAPPING: Is GTB interested in knowing the location of all Zenith Bank's branches in Kano?
4) CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT IDENTIFICATION CAND TARGETING: what is the geographic location of all Spring bank customers who opened domiciliary account in the last 4months in Abuja?
