Faster Data Performance in the Enrich Layer Tool
In the previous release, we received feedback from our users to make data retrievals faster. Now with new computing power improvements, you can expect data retrievals to be more accurate and 8 times faster than the 2.8 offering. With our new process of extracting data in the fastest way, you can easily enrich boundaries with the use of large amounts of variables.
Seed Points in Territory Design
Many of you who have used Territory Design are aware that you can create and balance territories within any industry. We are excited to announce that you can now have more control by defining the starting location of your territory with Seed Points. This is extremely beneficial for network specific location analysis which allows you to pinpoint the exact location within a territory you want to grow your analysis around.

Now, omit the time and programmatically search through datasets by filtering and searching variables specific to your analysis. This new feature will help users perform big data analysis and gather unique insights at a fraction of the time it previously took.
