Abstract
Abstract :
Open enterprise solutions are becoming a standard in many organizations where interoperability between multi-vendor applications and unobstructed access to shared data are crucial. Geospatially-enabled relational database management systems provide an open data repository that supports collaborative mapping, design and infrastructure management for large enterprises. With this open platform, for the first time geospatial data are accessible to geospatial applications from multiple vendors via standard SQL and ODBC, JDBC and OLEDB. Many vendors have begun to rely on this technology as a foundation component for general interoperability. Since spatially-enabled RDBMS manages all enterprise data in a secure, highly available environment, key elements of spatial technology can now be used in conjunction with core enterprise business data to improve general operational efficiency. This provides a tremendous business benefit to mapping organizations as well as utility and telecommunications firms. These organizations can now build solutions by integrating best-of breed applications and solutions from multiple vendors, including traditional GIS vendors, but other non-GIS vendors as well.
