Abstract:
Practically every organization has a wealth of geospatial or location-related information. Users in many industries are starting to realize the potential business value of visualizing and analyzing location data together with other information in their enterprise databases.

The good news is that this doesn't have to be daunting or costly – in fact enterprise databases such as Oracle make it easier than most people might imagine to get started leveraging location to cut costs, unearth revenue opportunities, improve business processes and sharpen their company's competitive edge.

This webinar will highlight how:

• Oracle Database users have an impressive array of location data management and query capabilities and development tools that can be leveraged without additional software cost.
• Rapid prototyping and development tools for geospatial applications can be used by technically oriented business users and non-programmers, as well as IT professionals.
• IT organizations can use their existing skills and infrastructure to integrate spatial and location technology into everyday business processes.

Xavier Lopez, Director of Product Management, Oracle Spatial Products Group, will outline Oracle's spatial and location technology products from a user opportunity standpoint.

Steven Pierce, Principal Geospatial Consultant, Johnston McLamb, an Oracle Spatial consulting partner, will share best practices and lessons learned, based on experience helping business users easily fast-track their use of Oracle Spatial with rapid prototypes that can pave the way for production enterprise applications.

"It's really very simple. Geospatial data will become more important to corporations and government. More users will need access. More applications will need to be developed. As a leader in geospatial database management, Oracle provides the tools, scalability and security for you to prime the pump and make your enterprises more location intelligent."
