Allows data to be retrieved to the desktop in user specified data format and projection

San Diego, CA - ESRI User Conference, Booth 614 - Safe Software announces that it has developed a data extraction plug-in for ESRI's ArcIMS web mapping software. The plug-in, called SpatialDirect for ArcIMS, allows data to be retrieved to the desktop in user specified data formats and projections.

"This solution will be very interesting to organizations with multi-vendor solutions that need to offer users data in different data formats," said Don Murray, president of Safe Software Inc. "We see SpatialDirect emerging as an industry standard for multi-format data distribution via the web," he added.

More about SpatialDirect for ArcIMS

SpatialDirect for ArcIMS enables ArcIMS to distribute data to users in real-time over the Internet/intranets. Once the user has identified the data they need using ArcIMS, they invoke SpatialDirect which prompts them to select their desired data format and projection. The data is then extracted and sent to the end user's requested location in the data format and projection they requested, ready for use.

Over 50 GIS, CAD and database formats are supported including: DGN, DTED, DXF, DWG, GenaMap, MIF/MID, MGE, NTF, NTX, SDTS, TAB, TIGER, OGDI, Oracle 8i Spatial, Spatialware, and S-57.

SpatialDirect for ArcIMS is available now through ESRI USA, ESRI resellers, other Safe Software resellers and direct from Safe Software, Inc. A free evaluation version of the software is available by contacting Safe Software Inc.
