Geospatially Enabling Microsoft SharePoint with Visual Fusion Suite

<p>From the blog of Microsoft partner IDV Solutions: <p>For all of you enterprise Microsoft developers, this Wednesday, April 9th, from 2-3:30 PM EDT, <a href="http://www.microsoft.com" target="_blank">Microsoft</a> is hosting a <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/devkeydet/archive/2008/04/04/webcast-geospatially-enabling-sharepoint-with-idv-solutions-visual-fusion-suite.aspx" target="_blank">webcast</a> from <a href="http://www.idvsolutions.com/" target="_blank">IDV's</a> Scott Caulk, product manager for <a href="http://www.idvsolutions.com/products_overview.aspx" target="_blank">Visual Fusion</a>. Rather than summarizing Scott's abstract, here it is: <blockquote> <p>Microsoft Office SharePoint Services 2007 (MOSS) is rapidly approaching the 100 million licenses sold <a href="http://h1ooua.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p5Ac4UD8WkzLfnfpG_2R4qONZ3yXiv-ZhKyGtpxWatKd830qIamvNn-471San8RY65KiyUOI1t62ukd68yLiVaQ?PARTNER=WRITER"><img height=415 alt="IDV's Visual Fusion Suite" src="http://blu1.storage.msn.com/y1pFY11m0SsS5mTmqYrJklyQi__VnNlmjNIZrNCaNP5B_UamjD ePXAl1QgPNWma79L4JJK5qufnYOMA_NdcZ-cFL36Pgy3bHCOi?PARTNER=WRITER" width=300 align=right border=0></a>milestone and SharePoint consulting services are white hot.* IDV Solutions’ Visual Fusion software extends SharePoint to create a visual composite application platform, empowering users and the enterprise to consolidate data and services surfaced in SharePoint and then compose them in the context of location and time.* In short, Visual Fusion geospatially enables SharePoint.* This webcast will inform the Microsoft* developer community about the capabilities of Visual Fusion, the primacy of location and time in organizing information, and how to quickly create compelling visual composite applications.* An application will be created from the ground up, combining structured enterprise data (SharePoint Lists & Libraries, SQL Server stored procedures) with unstructured workgroup data (Excel files, KML files, and SHP files), cloud-based data (KML feeds, RSS feeds, and WMS feeds, Map Point Web services, Virtual Earth), and ad hoc contributions from the user (map annotation).* The audience will see how the combination of Visual Fusion and SharePoint results in a geospatial content management system, how portal services (Search, alerting, the business data catalog, etc.) can be leveraged to supercharge visual composite applications, and how an RIA front-end will engage, create buy-in, and facilitate collaboration among users.</blockquote> <p><a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032373601&Culture=en-US" target="_blank">Register here!</a><img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=3934802439182364865&page=RSS%3a+Geospatially+Enabling+Microsoft+ShareP oint+with+Visual+Fusion+Suite&referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""><img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&NA=1149&PI=73329&RF=&DI=3919&PS=85545&TP=virtualearth4gov.spaces.live.com&GT1=virtualearth4gov">
