iWay Software Introduces Adapters for Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

NEW YORK, March 30 -- iWay Software, an Information Builders
company and the world's leading adaptive software vendor, today announced a
new package of adapters that integrate, enrich, and update data to and from
Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
The adapters were developed to work with ESRI's ArcSDE. ESRI, the world's
leading developer of GIS software, uses these adapters to integrate its
spatial database engine ArcSDE with a wide variety of operational data to
create an information backbone that delivers all data, both spatial and
tabular. iWay's adapters are separated by function: one set gets geographic
information from an address and the other loads the GIS database. Using
iWay's patented Adaptive Framework, organizations can now easily create maps
to visually represent nearly any data, from any information system within its
existing IT infrastructure.
"We chose iWay Software GIS Adapters because they came highly recommended
in the market," says Bud Douglas, chief systems information officer at
Mississippi Department of Human Services. "Implementation time is very
important to us in Mississippi. We like to show our constituents the benefits
of a project as soon as possible. We believe iWay Software GIS adapters will
help us accomplish that goal."
The new iWay Software Adapters for GIS drastically reduce the cost and
complexity involved in GIS implementations - up to one-half of the deployment
time, one-half of the software costs, and one-half of the services costs. The
adapters accomplish this by improving the retrieval, enrichment, geocoding,
and delivery of data between disparate information systems. As part of iWay's
ever growing Adaptive Framework, the new GIS Adapters retrieve data from any
information system or B2B protocol, enrich data information from other
sources, geocode data by calling an application or service to obtain location
coordinates and census data, and then deliver information to appropriate
layers of GIS data stores.
"We are seeing a tremendous increase in the use of GIS," says John Senor,
president of iWay Software. "Government agencies are using these applications
to better understand their constituents, trim costs, and improve security.
Private institutions are using GIS to trim costs and increase understanding of
core business processes. In all cases, organizations are reaping tremendous
return on their investments. Our new GIS adapters will help them realize a
return on GIS applications even quicker."
