· First, describe how GIS is currently used by your industry. One source to answer this question is the search feature at https://www.esri.com/en-us/industries/enterprise-agreement/commercial-business
· Create a BAO map and overlay the location of the top three competitors. Use the map to reflect the competitive environment. Import data based on your research that identifies the geographic region (city, state, etc.) with the highest sales, fastest production, and/or most growth, etc.
· Discuss and provide at least one map with an overlay of the future demographic, financial, sales, education, or other data that is of most interest to your industry. Use an appropriate ESRI Tapestry¢ profile to help add value to your map.
