| + | ===== Histoire de la compagnie ===== | ||

| + | ===== Histoire du produit ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | MapInfo developed the first desktop GIS in 1986. Originally, the intention was to create an easy-to-use software package that did not require exceedingly large amounts of computing power. | ||
| + | |||
| + | MapInfo provided the first tools to Microsoft that allowed them to include mapping functionality in their products, specifically the mapping add-on branded as Microsoft Map for Microsoft Excel as part of MS Office 95. The add-on was subsequently included in Microsoft Office 97, and Microsoft Office 2000. This provided the inspiration for the Microsoft MapPoint program, which became a separate product from Microsoft, and since that Microsoft Map was dropped. | ||
| + | |||
| + | MapInfo collaborated with Oracle Corporation to develop the original spatial cartridge for the Oracle 8i database. | ||
