| Virtual Earth Case Study: EPA Improves Data Visualization with Mapping Technology Some time ago I blogged on the Microsoft announcement that the Environmental Protection Agency had adopted Virtual Earth as the visualization platform for the development of* its mission-critical geospatial and mapping applications. Microsoft has just posted to its web site a case study profiling the use of Virtual Earth by the EPA. It is a good read, with great quotes from Pat Garvey, manager of the Facility Registry System at the EPA, such as the following: “We were looking for three primary elements. First, we needed a technology that would provide great functionality for users. Second, we needed a development kit that would allow our staff to easily integrate the mapping tools with our existing ESRI-based geographic information system (GIS) technologies. Finally, we wanted the ability to offer easy public access to the tool.” "We were able to integrate the new Virtual Earth technology into the online Envirofacts site within three weeks. For the federal government, that’s lightning speed." You can find the case study here.         |
