IDV Solutions Releases SpatialWiki, a Collaborative, Cloud-Based Product
Published 13th October 2008
IDV Solutions today released SpatialWiki, a collaborative site to create, store, and share geographic information using IDV’s rich internet application (RIA) technology. SpatialWiki is an Enterprise 2.0 offering for visual collaboration, deployable within SharePoint or with cloud-based storage. The wiki offers users a number of great benefits including the ability to create custom geospatial shapes on a map, search and view shared geography, and export files.
SpatialWiki, today released in Beta, is built on Silverlight 2.0 and Virtual Earth, and stores user-contributed data in the cloud via Microsoft’s new SQL Server Data Services. The wiki incorporates fast graphic rendering and best practices for map display, allowing users to draw and edit map content and output shape files as KML or as spatially enabled SQL Server 2008 scripts. Innovations like the globe rotation option provide another degree of freedom for navigation and drawing.
“We are excited to offer this visual wiki experience as a complement to Visual Fusion® or as a standalone product,” says Ian Clemens, Chief Technology Officer at IDV Solutions. “The utilization in SpatialWiki of new cloud-based technologies from Microsoft offers our customers a new level of IT agility.”
IDV Solutions is pleased to offer a public Beta of this Enterprise 2.0 product. To get started, visit SpatialWiki at http://www.spatialwiki.com.
