Oracle9i Application Server with Autodesk MapGuide. (Management: Viewpoint).The Autodesk MapGuide has been certified to support Oracie9i Application Server, which it is claimed will help enterprises create custom Java applications A Java program that is run stand alone. The Java Virtual Machine in the client or server is interpreting the instructions. Contrast with Java applet. See servlet. to distribute location-based data and improve customer services. Comment: Many organisations have invested heavily in the creation of 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. ; distributing data beyond the source to the non-technical user is essential to realising its full value. By using Autodesk MapGuide as a development platform and graphical front end and using the scalable Oracle9i Application Server for deployment, organisations can develop customised, enterprise-scale Java and XML-based applications. "For every creator of spatial data, there are many more people downstream who can put it to use," say the Autodesk GIS Solutions Division.

Using Oracle's lightweight 2EE engine and extended caching capabilities, companies can save on infrastructure costs by scaling with software instead of hardware. Autodesk MapGuide Autodesk MapGuide helps organisations develop, GIS and digital design data applications on the Internet, intranet, extranet or in the field. The software's client/server technology assembles spatial and attribute data from multiple sources and delivers it in real time where it is needed via the Web to simultaneous users inside or outside the customer's organisation. www.autodesk.com |
