Today I released a new white paper and code explaining how to build scalable GIS applications with web services.  The paper gives sample code for both the web service and the client application using Map Suite Web & Engine Editions.  In this case the client application was a web application, but the same concepts can be used to consume the web service in a desktop application.  This type of application architecture works really well for both scalability and allowing you centralize the large base map datasets.

Below is a screen shot of what the result of the sample client application look like.  We even used the new Map Suite Icon library for the customer icons :)
