SolutionsCombining Technology with IBM Maximo SpatialIBM Maximo Spatial Asset Management is the first available solution that unifies the full functionality of industry-leading GIS and asset and service management products in a thoroughly modern SOA-compliant architecture based on Java, XML and Web services. Built upon the functionality of industry-leading ESRI ArcGIS Server, a particularly powerful spatially-enabled enterprise asset management solution is now available—one that enables decision-makers to make better-informed decisions, increase operational efficiency, and raise productivity while improving service to customers.
Expanding Maximo Development in 2008 Combining Technology With ArcGIS Server and IBM DB2IBM and ESRI jointly developed the DB2 Spatial Extender for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, which allows users to store, manage, and analyze spatial data including points, lines, and polygons and extend the function of DB2 with a set of advanced spatial data types and SQL query. ArcGIS Server with ArcSDE technology further extends DB2 spatial information management capability by adding powerful geodatabase functionality and advanced administrative management capability. IBM has released DB2 with spatial extender support for DB2 on z/OS, and ESRI is working with IBM to provide ArcSDE support for DB2 on z/OS.
Combining Technology With ArcGIS Server and IBM InformixIBM Informix® Spatial DataBlade™ spatially enables IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) by expanding the IDS object-relational data server to provide SQL-based spatial data types and functions. ArcGIS Server with ArcSDE technology extends IDS Spatial Datablade information management capability by adding powerful geodatabase functionality, advanced administrative management capability and direct use of standard SQL queries.
Combining Technology With ArcGIS Server and WebSphereUsing ESRI’s ArcGIS Server software in the context of an IBM WebSphere®-based SOA environment, users can easily deploy web services that deliver geospatial content and functionality such as mapping, location-based query and analysis, and reporting. As organizations consolidate business functions, increasing awareness of the value of spatially-aware databases is driving needs for open access to centralized geospatial information and services across the enterprise. IBM's WebSphere Application Server (WAS) provides GIS application environments with security, robust functionality, and scalability to support user communities of any size. WAS is an integral component of IBM’s WebSphere suite of open, reusable technologies that allow organizations to leverage existing platforms and applications and insert spatial processing and services into workflows with shorter development cycles.
The IBM Crime Information Warehouse solution combines the power of ESRI ArcIMS GIS mapping and visualization tools with IBM WebSphere to enable near-real-time reporting, analyzing and understanding of crime statistics. Structured to support analysis and decision making throughout the organization, the solution integrates data into a new repository of consistent, accurate information, which is then presented in multiple business views, including offenses or incidents, dispatch and arrests. Instant access to timely and accurate information allows departments to redeploy forces in response to crime trends as they occur rather than after the fact. Combining Technology With ArcGIS Server and Lotus (WebSphere Portal Server, Lotus Expeditor)ESRI ArcGIS Server can be deployed with IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) and WebSphere Portal Server (WPS). The main purpose of a portal is to provide a user with a single point of access to multiple types of information. A portal aggregates information in a way preferred by the user, regardless of the location or format of that information. In addition, a portal can be made accessible from multiple types of devices, such as a Web browser on a personal computer, or a microbrowser on a mobile phone. ArcGIS Server GIS functionality and web services, deployed via WAS and WPS, allows companies to build their own custom, spatially-enabled portal Web sites.
IBM Lotus® Expeditor is IBM’s recently released managed-client software to extend composite applications to mobile devices as well as laptops, desktops, kiosks and is the follow-on release of IBM WebSphere Everyplace® Deployment. Together with either ArcGIS Engine or ArcGIS Server, a location-aware Expeditor ‘micro-server’ can deliver rich GIS functionality to mobile clients. An alternative to Microsoft® .NET client software, Eclipse-based Lotus Expeditor can be used to build and deploy composite applications containing components of all types—from Java Foundation Class Swing, Microsoft Visual Basic and ActiveX and applets to native or Web views like JavaScript, XML (Ajax), Adobe PDF, and Java Server Pages.
Combining Technology With ArcGIS Server and RationalThe IBM Rational Spatial Integration Adapter (RSIA) allows programmers working with the Eclipse-based IBM Rational Application Developer environment to apply visual programming techniques, such as dragging and dropping spatial controls, to creating Web-based content. RSIA is designed exclusively with ESRI ArcGIS Server and supports integration of objects into applications and Web services. Together, ArcGIS Server with RSIA delivers browser-based access to GIS analysis functions, advanced GIS Web services, application development using Java, and integration of GIS with other IT technologies.
