In today's high-tech business environment, information comes from many different sources; from company reports, from statistics, archival data, digital photos, and multimedia. Such information may come from down the hall or be forwarded from business activity centers located around the world.

The amount of stored information can be overwhelming. The need for accurate, up-to-the minute, timely data requires innovative ways to access it and advanced technology tools to present it in meaningful ways. The more information you can access in a quick and easy manner, the easier it is to make informed decisions.

GIS has revolutionized the process by providing the means to organize large amounts of data based on the geographic or locational components of the data. Unlike a static paper map, GIS can display many layers of useful information. As relationships between the data become apparent, the value is greatly increased.

Geo/SQL can be used for Desk/top GIS or system wide enterprise applications. It redefines the way geographic information can be used. Geo/SQL 5.5 offers a true "one stop shop" approach to GIS management. This fully functional software provides GIS users with practical solutions for a wide variety of needs.

At the desk/top level, Geo/SQL works with all major GIS formats including ESRI, Mapinfo, Autodesk as well as Oracle, and ODBC. It has the power to capture large amounts of data and manipulate it into usable information, produces excellent visual presentations, and is low cost. It can be used "out-of-the-box" for desk/top or enterprise applications with no additional software purchases necessary.

At the enterprise level, Geo/SQL not only uses these popular GIS formats, but also provides seamless spatial data using SQL database technology such as Oracle Cartridge and Geo/SQL Spatial SQL. Using Microsoft Windows as a foundation, any SQL database which supports ODBC can be used to manage the large volumes of geographic and textual data required for the most demanding applications.

Geo/SQL Technologies has set a high standard of excellence by developing superior GIS software. A growing list of discriminating clients use Geo/SQL software to accurately track and manage their assets and inventories. The reason? Geo/SQL products emphasize state-of-the art spatial technology.

Geo/SQL 5.5 provides the power to create maps, integrate information, visualize scenarios, solve complicated problems, present powerful ideas, and develop effective solutions like never before. GIS is a tool used by individuals and organizations, schools, governments, and businesses seeking innovative ways to solve a variety of problems

Geo/SQL 5.5 is equally well suited to Desktop GIS or enterprise wide applications. Geo/SQL 5.5 offers a true "one stop shop" approach to GIS management. With no additional modules required this fully functional software provides GIS users with practical solutions for a wide variety of needs.
