NGIS Australia will be partnering with Microsoft to deliver a workshop to delegates at the 2009 WALIS Conference, being held from 11-13 November at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre.
In this workshop members of the NGIS development team will explain the reasons for choosing SQL Server 2008 for the award winning Indji Watch SaaS and open up the hood of the technology to provide a closer look into how it can be used as the foundation for spatial business solutions.
During the workshop attendees will gain an insight into the processes of building the solution and see some of SQL Server 2008’s stand-out features in action. The discussion will also consider the integration of other Microsoft applications, such as Bing Maps.
NGIS Australia’s CTO Adam Hender said: "This workshop could provide really valuable insights into how SQL Server 2008 works and why it might be the next big thing for spatial technology in the enterprise."
The workshop will benefit anyone working with enterprise spatial solutions who is interested in finding out more about this new spatial database platform.
The theme of WALIS Forum this year is, "Business Intelligence, Business Solutions and Education". It aims to engage people with location-based information and demonstrate collaboration and sharing of information across government and the private sectors.
As one of the premier GIS conferences in Australia, WALIS attracts more than 800 delegates from a diverse range of professions. The event draws local, national and international delegates who are involved in the use of spatial information from a variety of sectors including state and local government, the private sector, academia and the community.
The Forum is open to everyone, however, it is targeted at people working with geographic information or those who would like to find out how they can harness geographic information to improve their business.
