Spatialytics develops GeoBI solutions for the BI and Geospatial industries. But for the market of the Province of Québec, via partnerships, Spatialytics also offers BI and Geospatial solutions. We are announcing a new partnership in Geospatial with GeoCat BV, a company based in the Netherlands, well-known for its work around GeoNetwork, an Open Source catalog application to manage spatially referenced resources & metadata. More recently, GeoCat launched a unique product, GeoCat Bridge, establishing literally a « bridge » between GIS professionals and some Open Source web solutions. This is actually a module or extension for the ArcGIS desktop softwares from the Esri, which allows the publication of data and their metadata.

The article is finally out! My partner Dr. Thierry Badard prepared an article for the magazine Geospatial Today and you can find it on page 34 (pp. 34 to 37) of the November issue (#24, 11-2010). The title is “Developing geospatial business intelligence solutions” and briefly covers 1. BI concepts, 2. Merging geospatial and BI technologies (touches GIS, classical BI tools and GeoBI) and 3. presents the Open Source GeoBI projects you can find on Spatialytics.ORG. A perfect GeoBI solution can be developed by integrating the spatial component and its functionalities into each component of business intelligence infrastructure. (T.
