I have built a fat client suite of tools along the lines of CRM, which is aimed at the vertical market of politicians. The program is called MrDistrict (www.mrdistrict.com) . My company was recently mentioned along side several multi-million dollar companies in an article in the WSJ (August 31, 2004). The MapPoint ActiveX control is included with the program and optimized for tasks that a politician would find useful. MrDistrict also does lots of other things like analysis, newsletters, straw polling, targetting, form letters, donation/campaign finances, canvassing and more but the Microsoft MapPoint ActiveX control adds some really classy features ... and hey, the user can map out the family vacation she's going to take with all the money MrDistrict is saving her.
