| The goal of SpatialAge is to provide practical
solutions to real business problems. Our core competence
is a result of developing solutions through the practical
application of technology. We are committed to finding
the best way to solve our clients' business problems.
Technology
- We utilize open, non-proprietary, mainstream IT
platforms.
- Our SpatialAge Developer’s Kit (SDK)
™ maximizes reuse and makes it easy for developers
to locate and use existing functional code.
- We provide next-generation platforms and products
that are implemented in such a way that users are
not disrupted during deployment.
Usability
- We employ user-centric design through our innovative
Knowledge Mapping methodology.
- We capture the business logic of experts and expose
it through our user interface.
- We produce objects that can be used to construct
new applications or extend existing applications.
Practical Applications
- A full scope data toolkit, which allows clients
to build their spatial database, while improving data
quality and data intelligence;
- Point solutions to address problems and opportunities
without implementing dead-end platforms;
- Tools to maintain database integrity and "build-in"
continuous data improvement throughout the process.
SpatialAge Solutions
Leads the Way
We are committed to maintaining our leadership role
in the geospatial industry.
As part of our continuing efforts to stay on top of
technological advances, Byers remains an active leader
in industry organizations such as the Geospatial Information
and Technology Association (GITA). We also support initiatives
such as OpenGIS®, which fosters open industry standards
to provide interoperability among software components.
These standards facilitate integration and encourage
competition among providers, both of which benefit the
client by allowing choice among "best-of-breed"
applications without vendor “lock-in.” Your
“GIS” becomes your geospatial database,
which then supports the best applications, regardless
of the software provider.
The Evolution of SpatialAge
Geospatial technology has evolved rapidly during the
past 30 years, with the last few years seeing important
industry milestones. For the first time, mainstream
technology is effectively bridging the gap between applications
and data. Compelling examples include:
- coordinate data storage in commercial relational
databases
- strong OpenGIS progress on interoperability
- wireless connectivity
- Global Positioning System (GPS) integration
- broad marketplace acceptance for the web browser
graphic user interface
Since 1983, we have been continuously developing and
refining our geospatial software technology. From the
beginning, we employed our own core graphics engine
to allow users to view maps and manipulate features.
We were among the first to develop custom and commercial-off-the-shelf
(COTS) software that operates on inexpensive personal
computers. This software provided much of the functionality
of more expensive systems, which were typically used
for geospatial applications.
Since its formal introduction in March 1989, Byers’
products have gained market acceptance. The market has
embraced our EWO and Map Viewer products because they
increase productivity and reduce costs, thereby: helping
clients to remain competitive and provide the highest
standard in customer service.
As the marketplace grows and changes, and new technologies
emerge and are implemented, the focus is shifting from
GIS and CAD platforms to specialized applications and
data sets, whether it is tabular or geospatial data.
As “CAD” is becoming increasingly irrelevant,
we purposely designed an evolution path to assist our
clients in moving from CAD to full geospatial capabilities.
