GeoBI initiative allows the integration between Geographical Information Systems and Business Intelligence software.
Québec, Canada – June 10th, 2010 – Spatialytics, a software and solutions company for Genuine and Open Source Geospatial Business Intelligence, announces its participation in the GeoBI Initiative, a new international initiative focused on Geospatial Business Intelligence, available at www.geobi.org.
The initiative aims to gather companies, organizations, project communities and individuals into an open community aiming to foster the cooperation in the GeoBI domain and to support research activities. This allows to convert the results into innovative enterprise applications as well as to enrich and integrate the existing open source GIS and BI solutions, through the adoption of open standards.
Besides Spatialytics, the initiative members include the Italian companies Engineering Group and Inova Open Solutions, the French company Altic, the Swiss company Camptocamp and the SESAR research lab, Information Technology Department, University of Milan. Membership is open to anyone who shares the initiative vision.
When it comes to GeoBI and collaboration in an open environment like this GeoBI Initiative, Spatialytics hears the call. We are proud to be among the initial members of this unique initiative and see Spatialytics co-founder and pioneer in Open Source GeoBI, Dr. Thierry Badard, sit on the technical committee. Open Source GeoBI projects available at Spatialytics.ORG like the SOLAP Server GeoMondrian are key for this inevitable IT convergence.
…says Luc Vaillancourt, CEO, Spatialytics.
Moreover, the initiative promotes the creation of a network of support services, according to which the initiative members provide professional support to the developed solutions.
