, and other hand-held device applications.

Dr. Jean-Baptiste Monnier, vice president of the geoengineering business group at Bentley, states, "Our commitment to Oracle the company and Oracle 8i is based on parallel paths. Oracle is clearly committed to the geoengineering market and has demonstrated technical leadership as well. We and users of ModelServer Continuum look forward to Oracle 8i and its Internet-based capabilities for life-cycle asset management across the enterprise."

"We are excited about Bentley's continued commitment to Oracle, further demonstrated by ModelServer Continuum's technology alignment Business and technology alignment, or just technology alignment, corrects terminology and assumptions used in business to better match those of technology and standards anticipated in the technology strategy and so-called technology roadmaps.  with Oracle8i, the only database specifically designed as an Internet development and deployment platform," says Jack Pellicci, vice president of Oracle Global Service Industries. "The combination of our technologies provides an open, scalable, standard-based solution for the geoengineering community and enables organizations to leverage geoengineering data across the enterprise."

Enterprises, government agencies, and organizations with heavy investments in geoengineering assets have long sought the kind of a "contiguous" database offered by ModelServer Continuum and Oracle 8i. Utility and telecommunications companies, highway departments, facility owners, and others using ModelServer Continuum can add critical engineering and spatial data Data that is represented as 2D or 3D images. A geographic information system (GIS) is one of the primary applications of spatial data (land maps). See spatial analysis, spatial resolution and GIS glossary.  to their business applications.

The combination of Oracle 8i and ModelServer Continuum allows asset planning, customer information, and maintenance scheduling systems to incorporate engineering details and provide map-based user interfaces.

Mark Millman, recently appointed as vice president of geoengineering technologies at Bentley, comments, "Oracle 8i provides a powerful development environment, not just a database, for integrating geoengineering and enterprise data. With it, we can more easily apply and incorporate expertise from key geoengineering areas, including utilities, transportation, and government, into the final solution. In this way, we can present an environment that is fine-tuned for fast deployment and optimal performance for each of these application areas."

The application expertise that will be applied to the upcoming ModelServer Continuum comes from successful organizations and standard-setters in each field. Bentley, a standard at 46 of 50 state DOTs, along with GEOPAK developers will provide the transportation context; similarly NetSpace developers will provide the special requirements for utilities and government applications.

Mr. Pellicci of Oracle and Dr. Monnier are both speaking here today. The two-day conference will focus on the deployment of the geoengineering continuum and will address an audience of geoengineering professionals, government officials, civil engineers, imaging professionals, data providers, systems integrators.

The Geoengineering Summit also features presentations by Erik Smith Erik George Sebastian Smith (25 March 1931 - 4 May 2004) was a German-born British record producer, pianist and harpsichordist.

About EEM

EEM (Enterprise Engineering Modeling) is a market category that has been identified by Dataquest, a Gartner Group company, as a progression of the computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive  market. CAD is limited to geometric data shared within a design group. EEM encompasses modeling all aspects of engineered assets and sharing the information with extended enterprises that design, build, and operate the assets.

Driven by forces similar to those behind ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. , EEM is made possible by advances in client/server, component software, web, mobile device, and spatial database technologies.
