What is Dynamic GIS?

Measure real worldConstant flow

of updatedinformation

to gain quality

and efficiency

Change real world

Present model of

real world

Creating event-specific, time-specific, and location-specific information about our changing world.

What is the information cloud?

The fusion of sensor technology with software produces the “Information Cloud,” where imagery is

combined with 3D point cloud data and connected with real-time, location-based intelligence. The

Information Cloud encapsulates and preserves the source content from the various sensor inputs

while feeding the Dynamic GIS. With integrated software solutions, you can transform this data to

produce reliable and actionable information.

A Geospatial Solution for Success

ERDAS APOLLO is built on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Standards

• Provides a high degree of interoperability across both applications and data

• Makes you and your organization significantly more productive

ERDAS APOLLO can discover and manage enormous amounts of geospatial data

• Eliminates the time and expense wasted by everyone maintaining their own data silo

• Less overall hassle for those engaged with production work

On Demand Spatial Analysis via Web Processing Services (WPS)

• Adapting APOLLO to a wide variety of applications significantly improves ROI

Proven to be the fastest image serving capability available

• Reduce the expense of dedicated hardware to achieve similar performance

• Responsiveness results in satisfied users and customers

A New Era

The Dynamic GIS

– An integrated geospatial system, the Dynamic GIS is able to translate change, on the fly, into actionable information

� Combining the strengths of Intergraph, ERDAS, and Leica Geosystems technologies, Hexagon now offers the industry’s most comprehensive set of geospatial solutions, aligning all the vehicles necessary to make the Dynamic GIS a reality

– Completely connecting sensors to software and software to solutions (through specific vertical market services) ultimately provides a means to protect lives, infrastructure (property), and society

– Brought together, we are starting from a position of strength

� Technology from Leica Geosystems and Z/I Imaging captures terabytes of imagery that can be used to create and extract valuable geographic information

� ERDAS has a legacy of pioneering image processing and raster handling, maximizing the pixel

� Intergraph built a vector-based strategy to build land bases and databases of geospatial intelligence and provides differentiated and vertically-focused software solutions to core industries that use geospatial data

– The Dynamic GIS supports the complete geospatial information lifecycle
