After implementing a data warehouse, customers often begin to ask
“How can I see on a map where are our customers are and where
our revenue is coming from?” or “Can we display on a
map what counties are receiving crop payments?”
In addition, business managers frequently want to compare data
in the data warehouse with data in existing GIS solutions already
in place, such as
- comparing crop disaster payments with aerial photos of what
a field looks like, or
- comparing the source of recreation area revenue with other
geographic features in the surrounding area using GIS photos or
maps.
The most powerful data warehouse
applications now include more than simply text and numbers - ESRI
software enables your data to be displayed on a map on the web.
The map above displays data from a financial data
warehouse, with various types of revenue appearing in different
colors.
Advanced DataTools is an ESRI
Consulting Partner using ArcSDE and ArcIMS to geo-enable data
in data warehouses. Integrating these tools allows you to take data
from your data warehouse, plot it on a map, and display it on a
website.
We have also integrated Brio Software with ArcIMS. This integration
makes it possible, when working in a web-accessible Brio report
containing text, charts, or pivots, to click on a button to generate
an ArcIMS map of the data in a web browser. Conversely, it is also
possible to click a linked location on an ArcIMS map which will
start the Brio application and generate a report with information
about that location.
For more information on how you can expand the capabilities of
your data warehouse using ESRI software, please contact
