IntelliWhere(TM), a division of Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions, will join IBM (Stand K8, Hall 4) at the 3GSM World Congress, Feb. 19-22 in Cannes, France, to demonstrate a range of location-based services (LBS) solutions for mobile workforces. IntelliWhere is a software and solutions infrastructure provider focused on the wireless and LBS industries, and is a key driver in this fast-growing market space. IntelliWhere offers enterprises a new level of choice in selecting LBS technology and expertise to suit their business and skill sets.
LBS solutions for the enterprise
IntelliWhere is focused on the needs of the enterprise. While one enterprise may choose to undertake a complete in-house investment and development of LBS technology, another may prefer to minimize risk by implementing the technology as a service, with no infrastructure or development costs. IntelliWhere addresses both approaches with a range of LBS solutions and professional services.
IntelliWhere will provide the following demonstrations at 3GSM:
- IntelliWhere OnDemand: A vector-based mapping product for personal digital assistants (PDAs), IntelliWhere OnDemand is an off-the-shelf solution targeted at enterprises with a mobile workforce. With this new PDA software solution, a location-enabled mobile workforce benefits from wireless field access to data such as intelligent maps, diagrams, and asset information by connecting to a corporate geographic information system (GIS). IntelliWhere OnDemand will be available in April 2002.
- IntelliWhere LocationServer: IntelliWhere LocationServer is the server-side platform at the core of the IntelliWhere software suite. It allows systems developers to add GIS capability to their applications, without being experts in spatial systems.
- Retriever service: The retriever service is a mobile workforce automation solution that is sold as a service, freeing customers from the expense and complexities of deploying and maintaining a wireless infrastructure.
- Retriever service+maps: The retriever service+maps combines mobile workforce automation with location-based services to provide an integrated pay-by-the-month service. This service will be available second quarter 2002.
- IntelliWhere tracking technology: IntelliWhere will also preview its new tracking technology. This technology will allow enterprises to track mobile vehicles, assets, and users within a workflow in real time. It runs on IBM’s WebSphere J2EE platform.
