Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions and IBM Announce Marketing Agreement

GeoMedia products combined with DB2 database management software provide new spatial warehousing options for customers

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., April 10, 2002 - Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions today announced a marketing agreement with IBM(R) Corporation. Intergraph and IBM are establishing a relationship worldwide between their technical, sales, and marketing teams to sell Intergraph's GeoMedia(R) product suite together with IBM's DB2(R) database management software. Targeted global markets include transportation, government, and location-based services, and, in Europe, the banking industry. To facilitate this effort, Intergraph has developed a new IBM DB2 read/write data server for their GeoMedia products.

"Our agreement with IBM reaffirms Intergraph's commitment to deliver leading-edge, standards-based solutions to customers worldwide," said Bart Hoogenraad, global marketing director of Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions. "With this agreement, customers now have more database choices which lead to greater interoperability and integration of diverse geospatial information with existing business systems."

"Intergraph is an established solutions provider in key markets such as government and transportation," said Brian Staff, director of Solutions Marketing, IBM Data Management Division. "We are pleased to team with them to offer our mutual customers new options for their database warehousing needs, and we look forward to exploring new opportunities together in the fast-growing location-based services and banking industries."

GeoMedia's open architecture provides easy access to DB2 data warehouses By exploiting the open architecture of GeoMedia technology, DB2 users can benefit from the powerful functionality of GeoMedia without the need to convert their data into proprietary data formats, making integration with existing business systems a simple matter. DB2 is an excellent option for customers choosing an industry-standard database for their spatial warehouse needs. And when combined with GeoMedia, which has the ability to connect to native spatial repositories, a customers' data integration ability further improves. For example, users can answer spatial-related questions using data from multiple GIS data warehouses and industry-standard databases. By moving spatial data into DB2, enterprise access can be achieved without a department losing responsibility and control of their data. Standard database security processes can also be implemented for managing access to departmental information.
