Intergraph Solutions Take Center Stage at GeoSpatial World 2003

Technical Sessions, Live Demonstrations, and Hands-on Training Workshops Blend to Showcase Geospatial Solutions

NEW ORLEANS, May 19, 2003 - GeoSpatial World 2003 - GeoSpatial World 2003, hosted by Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial Solutions and the Intergraph Geospatial Users Community (IGUC), kicked off today to a large audience of customers, prospects and exhibitors from more than 40 countries across the globe. Featuring over 200 technical sessions the conference program mirrors Intergraph's strong vision of open geospatial workflow solutions for targeted markets: Geospatial Resource Management; Land Information Management; Geospatial Intelligence; Geospatial Data Management and Cartography; Commercial Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry and Location-based Services.

GeoSpatial World 2003, the IGUC International Training and Management Conference, provides an opportunity for networking, new industry insight, a view of the latest products and services, and a look at completely integrated end-to-end geospatial solutions. Technical sessions, hands-on workshops, and other presentations enable attendees to learn first-hand about these highlighted solutions:

Commercial Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry - Commercial Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry solutions provide end-to-end photogrammetric production capabilities for commercial photogrammetry, surveying, civil engineering and mapping firms around the world. From acquisition, to product generation, to distribution, Z/I Imaging, an Intergraph company, provides this market segment with complete systems for the development of base maps, digital terrain models and orthophotos.

Geospatial Resource Management - Geospatial Resource Management (GRM) provides advanced integrated solutions to streamline workflows and lower operating costs for industries such as local, regional, state and federal governments, transportation and utilities and communications. GRM serves as an "umbrella" for integrating interrelated organizations or entities into an efficient overall system. For example, our GRM solution for utilities brings together GIS, outage management, mobile workforce management, work management, and engineering analysis software. These systems share common threads via the geofacilities model, location information, and the work required to provide reliable service. Geospatial technology is the medium for binding these systems into an efficient whole.

Our GRM solutions for transportation and government entities can assist you in managing all aspects of the infrastructure life cycle. Local and regional governments have an enormous investment in the facilities, services, and installations needed for society to function efficiently. Whether it's maintaining water and wastewater networks, roads, parks and recreation facilities, or mass transit systems, organizations deal with assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Land Information Management - An effective land information management (LIM) solution must be comprehensive enough to meet stringent requirements yet flexible enough to integrate all forms of land information - regardless of format. These complete solutions may be deployed on the desktop, using the Web, or mobile technology and are provided for the management, analysis, and distribution of the land information, including the parcels representing land ownership and associated activities such as tax assessment and permitting. They include the data capture and maintenance of the land information, as well as the analysis and distribution of this information, internally and externally.

Geospatial Data Management and Cartography - Intergraph's Geospatial Data Management and Cartography solutions are used to produce official maps in more state and provincial governments than any other map production solution. Our solutions offer the digital equivalent of a traditional map production photo lab. Multiple raster files representing the line work, text, area tints, and symbols on a map are processed to create color-separated, screened, composited raster files. These files can then be plotted on a high-resolution laser film recorder. The resulting publication-quality film requires no further editing or compositing, and incorporates the highest quality and accuracy standards. At the national, regional, or local government level, these solutions provide the tools and services necessary for large-scale management, analysis, distribution, and output of geospatial data. Intergraph offers solutions for advanced data capture, integration, management, and cartography.

Geospatial Intelligence - Intergraph Solutions combine technology and services to deliver user-ready capabilities for the geospatial intelligence community. These solutions begin with a "base" architecture, which may then be tailored to the needs of the users. A solution can stand alone or be combined with another solution to form a robust enterprisewide system. Adhering to open industry standards for interfaces and data models ensures that these solutions easily integrate with legacy data and existing applications.

Location-based Services - Location data is not a new concept. It already exists in all enterprises, usually as textual addresses within mainstream information systems. Unfortunately, it is often used only for sticking labels on the front of mailing envelopes. But recent developments in "location-based services" (LBS) means this information can be used for much more. Location-based analysis is no longer the domain of specialist GIS applications. It is entering the business mainstream, and Intergraph is well placed to help enterprises manage this process.

"GeoSpatial World is an important forum for showcasing our solutions, our technology and our customers' innovative use of our products," said Bart Hoogenraad, vice president global marketing, Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial Solutions. "A key Intergraph strength is the integration of geospatial workflows into existing and new business processes enabling our customers to meet everyday or critical demands. GeoSpatial World is essential to the flow of communication and ideas between Intergraph and our users."
