This presentation will describe RL Polk’s approach to integrating
Oracle MapViewer into Oracle Business Intelligence Suite using Oracle
MapViewer's Non-Spatial Data Provider. The NSDP brought an elegant and
efficient approach to integrating spatial and non-spatial data in real
time.
CatPortal's LocWizard: An Innovative Approach
to Mapping Insurance Risk Intelligence and Enabling Faster Decision
Making(No Slides Available) Guru Rao, President & Deepak Badoni,
Vice President, Catastrophe Systems, Aon Re Services, Inc.
Instant access to policy and location level insurance data is one of
the keys to faster decision making during and after a catastrophe event.
Using Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition and Oracle MapViewer,
Aon Re Global has developed an industry leading business intelligence
and mapping tool that allows users to seamlessly navigate between reports
and maps. The design was driven entirely by their clients’ need
to answer key questions about their exposures and losses to catastrophes.
The system uses a blend of custom programming and out-of-the-box functionality
to create an interface that allows users to create powerful visualizations
and reports with a few mouse-clicks – which previously took days,
even weeks of manual effort.
Recent studies indicate that over 80% of data maintained by corporations
has a location component. In the retail industry specifically, leading
retailers are exploring ways to leverage that data into better decisions
about how to serve customers, increase same-store comps, and maximize
GMROI. Mr Kowalski will highlight thincSoft’s thincVIew product
and discuss a current deployment at a leading convenience store retailer.
The thincVIew solution enables companies to merge traditional Business
Intelligence data with location and spatial information to improve decision
making through better data visualization and a map-driven “dashboard”
of key performance metrics. This presentation will also include a live
demonstration of the thincVIew solution, highlighting integration with
Oracle WebCenter portal, Oracle Spatial, and Oracle Business Intelligence
Enterprise Edition (OBIEE).

Discover how to leverage Oracle Spatial and Fusion Middleware technologies
to solve current complex county-wide Geospatial needs. Cuyahoga is implementing
a cutting-edge architecture to support Grid computing, service-oriented
architecture (SOA) and event-driven architecture (EDA) that delivers
unprecedented flexibility, performance and scalability.
This presentation details how a U.S. EPA enterprise web application
was "geo-enabled" using Microsoft Virtual Earth and Oracle
Application Express, and how the back-end Oracle 10g database was transformed
into a spatial data engine for Virtual Earth. The presentation demonstrates
how to make Oracle MapViewer maps available to commercial mapping APIs
as cached tiles, and describes how to serve feature data directly from
the database to Virtual Earth using AJAX and PL/SQL.
The Automatic Vehicles Monitoring (AVM) system at Cotral SPA monitors
a fleet of 1600 buses that take about 4600 trips per day on a "near
real time" basis. Through GPRS/HTTP, buses send information such
as position, events, alarms, timing, schedule to a central system for
storage and analysis in the Spatial Data Infrastructure, based on Oracle
Spatial, for bus monitoring, mapping, reporting and trip planning. With
Oracle’s linear referencing, buses can be located and displayed
in real time. The Oracle MapViewer browser front-end renders interactive
maps with dynamic bus positions according to routes and bus stop positions.

This presentation highlights how a suite of customer-service related
business applications are being deployed to change cable industry. An
overview of the key design criteria will be presented along with highlights
of the technical challenges that were faced in building a large-scale
set of applications. Details of the applications will be highlighted
as well as an overview of the technical implementation considerations
and challenges. The presentation will conclude with a demonstration.
This talk looks at the emerging drive towards development of geospatial
GIS/CAD features within web enabled business applications. It has always
been a goal to embed CAD like capabilities within business applications,
but it is only recently that the required database and software infrastructure
has made this possible. Leading Wireless Telecommunications Company,
Verizon, will present its VEGA Application. This demo includes CAD data
editing and manipulation features, seamlessly provided as an end to
end process, all accessible within a pure web browser.
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) is among the top ten
Water and Waste Water utilities in the United States. Early on, to support
its business needs with regards to geospatial data, WSSC had built a
system using software from many traditional GIS vendors that lacked
integration and support for many vital business processes. In 2006 WSSC
moved all enterprise data to Oracle Spatial (vector and raster data)
and implemented the Leica Geosystems' ADE suite.
Electric Office is an application for the design and maintenance of
electricity networks. It brings together Oracle components – TopLink,
MapBuilder, Workspace Manager - to capture, manage, display and analyse
network data in order to optimise the network design process.

Using Oracle Spatial and MapViewer for Evaluation

To meet information demand concerning income and job generation programs
implemented by Brazil’s Federal District Economic Development
Office (SDE), the Federal District Planning Company developed the Urban
Areas Management System (SIGAU). Local areas are evaluated through performance
indexes that take into account urban features, land plot, block and
district, and analysis/simulation of a large volume of data from many
governmental offices and systems. Thematic maps enable follow up and
decision making on current programs. Oracle Spatial, GeoRaster and MapViewer
provide a safe, high performance implementation platform. A demo will
be shown.
The production of maps out of GIS databases is often a challenging
process. Lorienne innovates with a new map production environment for
map creation, map publication and map updates from Oracle Spatial, with
a focus on high quality, production cost, data integrity and diversification
of map products across media. The case study with Tele Atlas data stored
in Oracle Spatial will address the benefits, the level of quality, the
efficiency of the production process and its dedicated user-friendly
environment.
Cost cutting requires reengineering spatial solutions to directly address
business requirements. But enterprise computing for spatial data has,
with even "Web 2.0", required the user to lose the responsiveness
and feedback that traditional desktop thick client GIS software has
provided. We took a different approach in the re-engineering effort
and concentrated on making it work as much like a traditional desktop
thick client - while simplifying use, making editing more reliable,
and actually speeding up rendering. All this, while only supporting
one versioned Oracle Spatial database, and application tier for all
users.
The City of Bolzano, Italy has a unique, complete editing and publishing
environment for geographical data. The Oracle Spatial-based enterprise
editing environment supports import and export into geospatial tools from
Bentley and ESRI, and network modeling from Oracle Spatial. Data is shared
with GeoJAX, an easy-to-use geographical web browser that uses the Oracle
MapViewer framework in combination with J2EE and AJAX for browsing Oracle
Spatial data. This provides a flexible viewer supports spatial queries,
and can be fully customized (style and functionality). Users can easily
import any kind of geographical data from an ESRI file, edit it with a
CAD precision functionality and make those data visible to anyone via
the web in a very short time.
