Microsoft Announces Data Visualization Platform
- Details
- Created on October 31, 2008
Microsoft SVP provides a single, geographic view of complex information and data sets across multiple roles, locations and user interfaces, which can vastly improve agency communication, collaboration and decision-making, and significantly increase the success of government missions.
Several agencies are beginning to use Microsoft SVP to meet evolving data visualization and decision-support system requirements in areas such as communication to citizens, command center operations, emergency response, facility management, information sharing and business intelligence needs, as well as in overall program management. "Government officials are increasingly aware of geospatial information's value to many aspects of their operations," said Gina Marie Hatheway, industry manager for the U.S. Public Sector Industry Unit at Microsoft. "With Microsoft's Single View Platform and our partners' offerings built around this solution, data can be unlocked in new ways to present visually compelling and critically important applications. Microsoft SVP brings important cost advantages and operating efficiencies to our customers."
