MapInfo Unveils Newest Version of Enterprise Location Intelligence Platform
For Business and Public Sector Organisations, Envinsa v4.0 Delivers Location
Analysis across Departments and Applications
London-February 28, 2006-MapInfo Corporation (NASDAQ: MAPS), the leading
global provider of Location Intelligence solutions, today introduced
EnvinsaT version 4.0, a scaleable web services platform for delivering
mapping, geocoding, routing and enhanced spatial capabilities across the
enterprise. Envinsa v4.0 enables organisations in all industries to combine
Location Intelligence with core analytical and operational processes,
resulting in better decision-making, lower costs, enhanced efficiencies and
improved service.
Location Intelligence is increasingly critical to organisations with large
and geographically dispersed customers, employees and assets, helping them
to more effectively allocate resources, manage assets, analyse incidents of
crime, plan retail store locations, or deliver mobile capabilities to field
based workers. Envinsa v4.0 enables organisations to centrally manage
location analysis capabilities and apply them across multiple functions,
maximising business potential.
"For developers and System Integrators Envinsa provides the essential
spatial backbone in any services orientated architecture enabling
organisations to more effectively identify opportunities, improve
profitability and analyse competitive threats. From telecommunications to
public sector to retail, Envinsa is the ideal solution for helping companies
exploit the full potential of their corporate data to solve critical
operational problems," said Chris Bolam, Product Manager, MapInfo EMEA.
Envinsa v4.0 Enhancements Result in Increased Efficiencies
Envinsa utilises a standards-based Web Services architecture to deploy a
host of location capabilities. Each underlying function is delivered as a
discrete Web Service that is made available through WSDL, accessed using
SOAP and catalogued for internal use using UDDI. These Web Services provide
the flexibility to interoperate with multiple operating systems, development
environments and application deployment choices.
New capabilities and improvements in Envinsa v4.0 include:
o Web Map Service and Web Feature Service capabilities are now compliant with Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) specifications for WMS and WFS 1.1
o New 3D mapping capabilities have been added which allow map
information to be output as GeoVRML
o Envinsa routing now enables the generation of drive time and drive
distance catchments
o Envinsa is now certified against the Open GIS Consortium (OGC) Open
Location Services (OpenLS) 1.1 specification
o Envinsa Geocoding can now be run on any operating system
o Full support for Oracle 10g Release 2
Benefits of Developing with Envinsa 4.0
Envinsa's web services interface facilitates the development of
interoperable systems and enterprise architectures. Customers are using
Envinsa to make legacy systems location-aware, enriching mobile devices with
Location Intelligence, adding new capabilities to desktop applications and
creating unique, future-proof, Web applications. Meanwhile Systems
Integrators are using Envinsa as the location intelligent backbone to
