GIS technology has long been valued for its capability to display features such as points of interest, pipes, wires, buildings, and to help reduce costs by enhancing decision making, the value for traditional desktop-based GIS has often been limited to workgroup, project or departmental level activities within the enterprise. GIS applications have largely been robust, vertically integrated, client-server systems that are optimized to support specific business workflows like utility asset management, land or natural resources management, linear asset management and many similar applications.
However, the geospatial data and analytical capabilities that GIS technology at Magnasoft makes possible are being leveraged by Magnasoft for an ever-wider range of personal productivity uses. GIS implementations at Magnasoft are evolving from proprietary architectures to wirelessly-networked, server-based & handheld-based solutions that leverage SOA, Web controls and Web 2.0.
