APOS Systems Releases Location Intelligence: Cloud Edition

Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, February 17, 2011 --(PR.com)-- APOS Systems, a leading provider of Business Intelligence solutions, announced today the release of the Cloud Edition of its Location Intelligence Solution (APOS LIS), a new version of its established location intelligence solution that takes advantage of Cloud technology to provide hosted platform and software services (PaaS – Platform as a Service; SaaS – Software as a Service). The new solution builds on the reliable and feature-rich environments of previous APOS LIS editions and makes location intelligence available to organizations with no in-house geographic information system (GIS) expertise.

"Until now, location intelligence has only been available to organizations with dedicated GIS resources," said Allan Pym, vice president, Sales, APOS. "The companies with these resources realized great competitive advantage through location intelligence, arriving at key insights more quickly and acting on them decisively. By hosting the GIS portion of our solution, we are making location intelligence available for rapid deployment."

APOS LIS: Cloud Edition allows organizations to deploy integrated GIS and BI capabilities for better business analysis and decision making, using a very cost-effective subscription license model. The Cloud Edition joins the established line of APOS Location Intelligence Solutions, all of which create bi-directional integration between SAP BusinessObjects and Esri’s ArcGIS Server technology.

Using APOS LIS, you can initiate queries from a map or other geospatial visualization, and you can launch context sensitive reports, dashboards and analytics from enterprise-wide data sources, based on GIS navigation and selections. The solution also integrates maps and other GIS content into business intelligence reports and dashboards.

In addition to being a long-standing SAP partner, APOS is also an Esri gold partner, giving them access to enhanced Esri technical, marketing and sales support. They also benefit from increased collaboration with the Esri Partner Network, a worldwide community of companies that develop and deliver innovative geographic solutions based on Esri technology.
