In its standard form, MapInfo Professional is a general-purpose toolkit that relies heavily on individual operators' knowledge of their business environment. There are few in-built procedures to enforce consistency and data quality across workgroups. Adding GBM Pro elevates MapInfo Professional to an enterprise-level solution that recognizes the business context and editing constraints for each dataset. Data quality and consistency are improved and IT overheads come down as GBM Pro reduces the data preparation and clean-up workload. Corporate data becomes more accessible with lower training costs.

GBM Pro achieves these outcomes through three mechanisms:

1. User definable data entry forms

   Data entry is simplified through drop-down lists, automated value generation and intelligent prompting. Values are validated at the time of entry, which improves the data quality and reduces training overheads.

2. One-to-many data relationships

   GBM Pro can connect a map layer to multiple separate MapInfo tables. With GBM Pro it is no longer necessary to duplicate spatial features to link maps and data where different sets of data are associated with the same map outline. GIS maps have fewer layers and open more quickly, reducing data management overheads.

3. Graphical styles linked to the data values

   As a library of graphical styles is embedded in form definitions, consistent presentation maps are built more quickly. Data is more readily integrated into multi-vendor GIS solutions and map legends can be built automatically.
