CTIA - Las Vegas - eSpatial, the global Web GIS and Geographic Business Intelligence company, today announced the world’s first full-function Web GIS as a software as a service (SaaS) at CTIA Wireless Conference, April 1-3 at the Ireland Pavilion, Central Hall, C3 Booth #6310.
Geographic information is vital for Telecommunication companies when determining where customers are located and managing the roll out of services effectively. With eSpatial’s Web GIS as SaaS, Telcos can integrate geographic and related business data from a variety of sources and present it in a controlled manner over the web. Departments can migrate core aspects of planning and engineering and other key workflows to a single shared environment and therefore increase efficiency in network rollout processes for design, planning, optimization and maintenance. As the solution is web based, this same environment can be used to improve Facilities and Assets Management, Marketing and Sales and Customer Relationship Management e.g. use same web based system to determine geographies for customer base growth and aid marketing departments on where to concentrate efforts and therefore use budgets more effectively.
Telcos have large complicated spatial applications generating huge quantities of stove-piped spatial data. With Web GIS as SaaS from eSpatial, Telcos can log in to an intuitive, easy to use application to organize and understand complex business processes, answer questions, solve problems and plan ahead by looking at data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared as digital maps.
“This is the first and only online solution providing secure, full-function GIS capabilities over the Internet as SaaS,” said Philip O’Doherty, CEO, eSpatial. “eSpatial’s Web GIS offers immediate return on investment to telcos by consolidating databases, increasing individual employee productivity using a single, consistent architecture delivered over the web. It can also replace outdated CAD and GI tools. This means that decision-making can be scaled rapidly throughout a company on mission-critical projects and services.”
eSpatial’s Web GIS capabilities transform the way businesses make decisions by bridging the gap between consumer mapping applications such as Google Maps, traditional corporate GIS services and business intelligence.
Based on its 2008 GITA Innovation of the Year award-winning work with Verizon Telecom, eSpatial enabled Verizon to integrate core aspects of network planning, engineering and key workflows, geographic and related business data throughout a telco operation with finance, sales, marketing, customer service and all other departmental data into online graphically based maps for rapid and better decision making throughout the organization. The achieved goal was to design a solution that offered universal access to information, streamlined deployment with rapid installation and reduced total cost of ownership through a one-platform solution which integrated easily with existing business systems.
