Integrating and accessing information through a map-based interface brings business data to life.

SKE in partnership with DMTI is enabling anyone to leverage the power of geography through a suite of geo-enabled web services called the GeoPortal Utility. The Utility provides an intelligent mapping and web services interface against which any organization can integrate and securely access its business data, documents, web content, and multimedia. It's like having an enterprise GIS solution but without the costs and headaches. A comprehensive map database provides the backdrop for this service – effectively ensuring that your maps and analysis are built from Canada’s best available spatial data. Smart, user-friendly technology with the best available spatial data available on demand to meet your business information needs.

For example, a building you manage has related information like tenant lease details, maintenance schedules, HVAC schematics, floor plans and more, all stored in different systems that often don't "talk" to one another. Accessing this data can be difficult and take time. A GeoPortal Utility changes that.

The GeoPortal Utility uses the building's location to integrate and provide access to these distributed data through one intuitive map based interface. Easy, fast access helps build understanding and supports better decision-making.

Geography also lets you see patterns in your data that you would never see from a spreadsheet or document.

Because GeoPortal is browser-based, you can tailor your system to support internal/external access for staff, partners and clients. And its integrated security means that users only see information they are authorized to see.
