The Virtual Earth platform is a critical component of the Microsoft geospatial story, enabling public sector agencies to serve up data in a manner that allows users to better visualize it, understand it, and ultimately to act on it in a more timely fashion, while simultaneously cutting costs and delivering clear value to their constituencies.
Join the Microsoft Virtual Earth team and Directions Media for a complimentary webinar that discusses how the Virtual Earth Platform can help you plan, predict and respond quickly, plus efficiently manage and analyze the overwhelming amount of data that flow through your agencies and departments on a daily basis.
Richard A. Wade, team lead of the Texas Natural Resources Information System (TNRIS) , will present a case study on how the adoption of Virtual Earth solved some pressing business and technology challenges and he will share the results, insights and lessons learned.
This webinar will highlight how:
· Virtual Earth brings clarity to business intelligence data and augments situational awareness
· Extends and leverages your current enterprise investments in other technologies such as ArcGIS
· The flexibility of Virtual Earth allows it to be used as either a Web-based server or as a secure server behind the firewall
At the end of the webinar, you will have the chance to submit your questions to a panel of experts including Kevin Adler of the Virtual Earth team, Joe Francica of Directions Media and our guest speaker, Richard Wade.
"Today, getting the best and most current geospatial information is only part of the challenge. Retrieving and visualizing the information from a common operating picture is critical to planning and executing a cost effective project. Putting the right data into the hands of the right team members solves the problem quicker. Microsoft presents a comprehensive solution that those in state and local government should not miss."
