Web mapping has come of age and users of GIS have been quick to embrace the potential of the Web to enhance GIS solutions. The ability to quickly and easily disseminate corporate data via existing web architectures is extremely powerful. GeoXplorer™ includes a consistent interface, is extremely easy-to-use and requires minimum staff training. Its lower per-user cost, with a huge return on investment, will be of benefit to any organisation wishing to extend their GIS capabilities throughout the enterprise.

IT Managers and System Administrators

Instead of installing and supporting GIS applications on multiple desktops, IT managers now have the power to configure a single web solution to meet the needs of all corporate GIS users with a standard web browser, whilst keeping the increase in network traffic to a minimum.

GIS Professionals

GeoXplorer™ is based on MapInfo's MapXtreme® technology. While MapXtreme® provides industry leading architecture for the deployment of Web-based GIS, custom development requirements can become quite complex for anything other than a simple view and query application.

GeoXplorer™ gives your team a major headstart in deploying Web GIS applications, saving you months (if not years) of development effort, and can be quickly used to provide functionality to meet your specific requirements.
