I second Brian's recommendations on QGIS and Manifold. If you want really powerful GIS functions, Manifold is the best system, hands down. I would never use Arc or MapInfo again after using manifold and I used to be a MapInfo trainer. Both QGIS and Manifold can link to external SQL DBs so you could probably build layers of customer point data with pop-up labels that contain customer info or create thematic maps based on certain values, etc, if you are looking for quick visuals.
