research studies Gartner Predicts that open-source BI will grow
five-fold thru 2012 Lower cost of ownership, application
flexibility, innovation, extensibility / embedability and
scalability make open source applications a perfect alternative for
organizations looking for high performance and value. Not only are
open-source BI solutions continuing to appeal to cash-strapped
companies, but they are improving functionality and starting to
reach the mainstream market Beyenetwork Of the respondents claim to
have deployed open-source software for reporting, data integration,
or database analytics purposes, and more than a third say they plan
to evaluate open-source for analytics in the near term. Only 12
percent of respondents say they have no plans to look into
open-source BI. Open-source rose quickly in the information
management market, from almost nothing a few years ago to
community- and commercially supported projects for every possible
use. Open source is primarily used by small companies is a myth.
Data also shows that medium and large organizations are doing more
evaluations Copyright 2006 INTEGEO All Right Reserved 8. Reasons

important inperformance management? Every dollar spent has a
location Where are our service delivery points? Where are our
client markets? Where do I recruit specialist skills? What areas
arent we covering? How is our accessibility? Where will we site our
new sites? How much assistance has beenoffered in my electorate?
The where can be just as important as the whatCopyright 2006

Location Intelligence is a mature domain allowing users perform
spatial analysis. Create maps from spatial data Can highlight
spatial patterns in data such as geographic clusters of incidents
Capable of advanced visualisations such as hot spot or gas cloud
analysis Not very good at analysing non spatial data or
representing data in a non spatial environment.Copyright 2006

Google Maps, Google Earth Satellite Navigation Personal GPS devices
RFID tags Geocoded Address Reference files Expectation that
Location will be available in main Business Reporting context and
tied to it Easy to do, not require GIS skills or programming How do
we achieve this?? Copyright 2006 INTEGEO All Right Reserved 22 23.

Advocacy ofInteroperabilityCopyright 2006 INTEGEO All Right

Grass Foundation in 1994 as aconsortium of US Universities,
GovernmentDepartments and the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Originally driven by the army to help procurementprocess.
Progressed to an aim of sharing geographic contentusing open
standards. Now has 344 companies as members from
Computer,Commercial, Government, Academic and Defencebackgrounds
(amongst others). Has created standards for many Geo-related
topics. Has a core set of spatial interoperability standards,most
prominent being the Web Map Service and WebFeature Service.

27. ROI on Open Standards 26% overall saving. Lower costs for
sharing data. Low Maintenance and Operation costs outweigh higher
implementation costs. Significantly reduce risk. Long term support
for Standards Services Oriented Architecture allows componentizing
future enhancements. Geospatial Interoperability Return on
