At the GeoInt 2008 Symposium this week, Microsoft Corp. continues to highlight its numerous contributions to the growing market for geospatial software offerings with the unveiling of Microsoft Single View Platform (SVP), a collaboration and data visualization platform that provides government agencies with solutions for one comprehensive geospatial view of critical data.
Microsoft SVP provides a single, geographic view of complex information and data sets across multiple roles, locations and user interfaces, which can vastly improve agency communication, collaboration and decision-making, and significantly increase the success of government missions.
Several agencies are beginning to use Microsoft SVP to meet evolving data visualization and decision-support system requirements in areas such as communication to citizens, command center operations, emergency response, facility management, information sharing and business intelligence needs, as well as in overall program management.
The geospatial intelligence gleaned through Microsoft SVP solutions allows agencies with diverse missions to access imagery of critical locations and overlay existing data sets to create a holistic view of situational requirements by bringing together Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and its Virtual Earth mapping software to harness the power of geographical visualization.
Microsoft SVP is an open, industry standards-based architecture that can be built on existing desktop and server infrastructures, providing agencies with a baseline technology that has the ability to configure unique solutions depending on specific program requirements in the area of business intelligence, information sharing, work flow and business processes, project management, and systems center. Interoperable by design, Microsoft SVP integrates multiple data sets, legacy systems and existing applications and management dashboard capabilities, helping reduce cost, complexity and development time.
Microsoft SVP’s commercial off-the-shelf technology enables solutions to be built and deployed quickly. Because the architecture is flexible and security-enhanced, government agencies can create restricted access and controls, allowing end users access only to information relevant to their role.
