Unlock mapping capability for everyone
You may think that we look a lot like a traditional Geographical Information System (GIS), but there are differences. As a database company we use your data and the map is just a canvas (a coordinate system) to paint the data onto. No other data is stored in the map. The map is clean and the projects are portable. The project does not depend on the map. We can paint your data on any mapping system you prefer.
Different Approach
Them
Map driven data - Typical GIS - Dynamic Layers (coverage) are map (all layers on all the time) – may be better for certain applications
Us
Database driven mapping -Infinitely Dynamic Placement on map (swap layers and data as desired) – works great and less expensive for most applications
Less Expensive – We are typically 65% cheaper. Why?
Software less expensive = $3000 (ESRI = $25 - $50K).
Installation less expensive = $2000 (ESRI = $5000).
Installation faster = < 1 day (ESRI < 1 week)
No special software needed. Data is driven by any of a large variety including: spreadsheet, personal SQL, DBF Table, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Oracle Spatial, etc.
No dedicated employees. Managed by regular employee.
No special system operator.
No software programmer on staff.
No knowledge of SQL required (no database experience needed).
No Boolean expressions needed. Use natural language search + location only.
We work with any mapping system, either web or proprietary. We use AutoCAD, Microsoft Virtual Earth, Google Maps, ESRI mapping utility, MapInfo, Autodesk MapGuide, etc. The proprietary mapping systems are typically much more expensive.
