Re Open-Source BI from 2 recent 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

Why is location important in
performance 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 aren’t we covering?
    • How is our accessibility?
    • Where will we site our new sites?
    • How much assistance has been
      offered in my electorate?
    • The “where” can be just as important as the what




                        Copyright 2006 © INTEGEO All Right Reserved   20
Location Intelligence (LI/GIS)


  • 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 © INTEGEO All Right Reserved   21
Location becoming pervasive


   • 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
Important Considerations


   • Open Standards – OGC


   • Open Source Spatial based on OGC


   • GIS/Spatial – Web Services OGC standards
    based


   • Publishing BI spatial analytics as OGC WMS


                 Copyright 2006 © INTEGEO All Right Reserved   23
Open Geospatial Consortium


 • Development of open
  geospatial standards
 • Certification of
  compliant software
 • Advocacy of
  Interoperability




                      Copyright 2006 © INTEGEO All Right Reserved   24
The Open Geospatial Consortium
   • Formed from the Open Grass Foundation in 1994 as a
    consortium of US Universities, Government
    Departments and the US Army Corps of Engineers.
   • Originally driven by the army to help procurement
    process.
   • Progressed to an aim of sharing geographic content
    using open standards.
   • Now has 344 companies as members from Computer,
    Commercial, Government, Academic and Defence
    backgrounds (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 Web
    Feature Service.

                     Copyright 2006 © INTEGEO All Right Reserved   25
OGC Standards


• Web Map Services (WMS)
• Web Feature Service (WFS)
• Web Map Context (WMC)
• Styled Layer Descriptor




                  Copyright 2006 © INTEGEO All Right Reserved   26
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 Open Source




 • Server environment
 • Geoserver
 • Robust
 • Standards Compliant




                  Copyright 2006 © INTEGEO All Right Reserved   28
OGC to link Business Intelligence and Spatial



    • Use of OGC standards to provide a generic
      connection framework between reporting
      tools and geospatial systems.
    • Types of data that are combined to support
      better program management, gap analysis
      and demographic analysis




                  Copyright 2006 © INTEGEO All Right Reserved   29
Use of GIS web Services
   • Google Maps
   • Provides ready access to street and satellite
    data worldwide
   • Provides geocoding facility
   • Scaleable and highly robust
   • Most organisations can use at this level
   • Large savings in infrastructure management
   • Reducing spatial data overload
   • Data maintained, styled and update
   • Very cost-effective

    Re Open-Source BIfrom 2 recent 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

    Why is locationimportant in performance 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 aren’t we covering? • How is our accessibility? • Where will we site our new sites? • How much assistance has been offered in my electorate? • The “where” can be just as important as the what Copyright 2006 © INTEGEO All Right Reserved 20
  • 21.
    Location Intelligence (LI/GIS) • 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 © INTEGEO All Right Reserved 21
  • 22.
    Location becoming pervasive • 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
