OnPoint Integrates Multiple Geographic Data Sources

Orion Technology (Canada) announces the upcoming release of web-GIS software OnPoint, codenamed NG, scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2005. OnPoint NG will seamlessly integrate data from ArcIMS, MapPoint, ArcGIS Server, OGC, Pictometry and Oracle Spatial and link that geographic data to multiple business systems' databases.
In addition to the Cascading Map Service, OnPoint NG delivers on-the-fly-projection and advanced search functionality that goes beyond a traditional GIS search. OnPoint NG integrates seamlessly with your corporate web-identity through a custom user interface and allows the user to embed non-GIS searches in their website with corresponding maps. Developers can create their own web applications by exposing OnPoint NG's core functionality as web services and using OnPoint as a back-end. OnPoint's new and improved Administration/Publication tool enables users to dynamically create and publish web service methods adding security as desired to control access without any programming. It also allows editing of spatial and attribute data together, and editing of any OGC WFS compliant data sources including ESRI shapefiles, ArcSDE layers and Oracle Spatial layers, providing advanced editing functionality such as COGO and snapping, and enabling authorised users to edit data stored in external business systems. It also allows users to link data outside the traditional GIS database in real time to your GIS data, dynamically creating thematic maps.
OnPoint NG also features a collaboration tool whereby you can take your map findings, mark them up online and email them to colleagues for collaboration, and has multilingual support.
