Location Intelligence Conference Workshop Schedule
Monday, April 28 @ 9:00 a.m.
Title: Microsoft Spatial
Company: Microsoft
Presenter: Chris Pendelton and Ed Katibah
Room: Ballroom C
Description:: This workshop provides an in-depth look at both Microsoft SQL Server Spatial and Microsoft Virtual Earth products. Come see how the union of these two platforms illustrate the power of both geo-spatial querying and geo-data visualization within a single Microsoft solution.
Title: Searching the Geoweb: Exposing Your Geo Data to Search Engines
Company: Google
Presenters: Lior Ron & David Minogue
Room: Ballroom A
Description: The problem of how to organize geographic information and make it easy for users to find has been around for a long time. With the growing amount of geo data available on the web and the emergence of the geoweb, users needs better access to the data: they need geo search. Come learn how Google is now indexing many types of geospatial data and show it as search results on Google Maps and Google Earth. With geo search, web sites can expose their geo content to search engines like they expose any other data. We'll show you how to get your maps mashup, GIS database or any other source of geo content crawled and indexed, and how to best optimize your content for user discovery via search.
Bio for Lior Ron: Lior is the Product Manager for geo search in Google, responsible for adding geo information into Google search. Before joining Google, Lior co-founded a medical device and a search startup, and served in various managerial positions in the Israeli Intelligence, where he worked on GIS and search problems. Lior holds an MBA from Stanford and BSc and MS from the Technion – the Israeli institute for technology.
Title: Building Slippy Map Based Applications with Oracle Spatial 11g, Oracle MapViewer, and Oracle JDeveloper Application Development Framework Components
Company: Oracle
Presenter: Ji Yang, Lead Developer, Oracle AS MapViewer.
Room: Ballroom B
Description: In this hands-on lab, you will learn how to use Oracle Spatial 11g, Oracle Application Server MapViewer and Oracle JDeveloper ADF components to develop a simple online mapping application called "Geo-Tags". This application lets you create location-based 'bookmarks' or geo-tags on a interactive (slippy) map, upload media content such as photos and movie clips that are associated with the geo-tags, and view the content via mouse clicks on the map.
Title: Directions in the Location Intelligence Frontiers
Company: Pitney Bowes MapInfo
Presenter: TBD
Room: Cypress
Description: There remains a tendency in the Location Intelligence industry to regard location intelligence as being fulfilled by map displays, the display of customers and some rudimentary analytics. We believe this is only the first small step in the Location Intelligence arena. We also believe that Location Intelligence is a mandatory partner in the overall intelligence analytics and predictive analytics space that offers an opportunity of substantial proportions. In this session we'll summarise where we see directions in location intelligence, the integration or perhaps immersion points that are immediate and we'll demonstrate work done along several of these paths.
Title: Building an ROI-based GIS 3-Year Strategy & Plan
Company: PA Consulting Group
Presenter: Ross Smith & Craig Rintoul
Room: Camino Real
Description: This workshop will provide an overview of a methodology for enabling you to build a robust ROI-based GIS Strategy and establish the confidence that you can deliver. This end-to-end methodology addresses a means to win the ‘hearts and minds’ of decision makers & the rest of the business; in addition to defining the quantifiable benefits.
In addition to helping to secure suitable budget, this methodology sets forth a framework for successfully delivering the benefits the ROI-based case describes, ensuring sustainability of the GIS initiative and the success of the technology-related investment.
The objective of this workshop is to provide sufficient insight, structure, templates and examples to allow you to build a robust ROI-driven GIS Strategy & implementation roadmap.
Specific topics that will be covered using a hand-on “how to” approach includes:
- Assessing current state of business processes, supporting technology and organization
- Prioritising business/ organizational benefits
- Defining a forward-looking roadmap
- Building a GIS program portfolio that delivers the results expected by the organization /business
- Determine the optimum design for your GIS Team – in-house, external, offshoring
- Calculating the costs – operational and capital cost calculations in a robust and defensible way
- Calculating the benefits - quantifying hard-dollar benefits using a variety of methods
- Calculating and proving the financial case – NPV, IRR, ROI etc.
We will provide tools and templates that allow you to put the insights gained on this workshop into practice at your own organization.
