Business Intelligence Meets Geographic Information Systems

Make better business decisions by adding a geographic dimension to your Business Objects and Cognos reports.

The Challenge

You have millions of data records and they are being added to continuously from everywhere you operate. These are automatically captured in your Business Intelligence (BI) system such as Business Objects and you can run some great reports but you still can’t visualise the data geographically. You may also have a Geographical Information System (GIS) tool such as ESRI’s ArcIMS but it takes far too long to manually input your data for it to be a sensible way of visualising data that changes continuously. You could be missing something.

WebiGeo, from Galigeo Solutions, connects your BI system to your GIS system adding location intelligence to your business data. See how your data changes geographically, identify new data relationships not previously apparent in tabular reports and enhance your knowledge and understanding of your business operation.

Map BI Data

WebiGeo has all the tools you need built in to take data directly from your Business Objects data universe and display it in graphical form on a map.
No more laborious data loading in the GIS system - refresh your BI report to see new data on the map.

Interrogate the Map

WebiGeo allows you to interrogate your BI data directly through the map to expose previously unseen influences and location based characteristics. Using dynamic spatial & thematic filters, you can narrow your data selection to reveal relationships between geographic features and other parameters.

Features

• Business Intelligence add-in – WebiGeo works directly through the Business Object web interface. Other BI tools and repositories may also be connected. WebiGeo uses the BI security model to ensure BI data is secure.
• Embedded and interactive maps - display a small version of the entire map in the report itself for view only purposes and/or add an interactive map with advanced capabilities and controls.
• Thematics & Analysis – display data on maps in pie charts, bar graphs, symbols or individual values and create choropleth maps. Zoom into the map to see how the thematics change on a layer by layer basis.
• Spatial filters - select map features by position, circle, polygon, rectangle and line and then filter the data in the report based upon the selections. Save your selected map features so that you can re-filter the report as new data is added.
