GMaps Plugin and XWIS 3.0 Creates Instant Enterprise Location Intelligence

July 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Only 6 weeks after they announced their technology partnership, SAP Software Solutions partners Antivia and Centigon Solutions have announced that they have finalized integration between their flagship products, Antivia XWIS and Centigon Solutions GMaps Plugin®. The result provides organizations with a significant reduction in development costs and allows the production of location intelligence enabled, enterprise dashboards within minutes.

GMaps Plugin is a Google Maps™ powered map design solution directly integrated into SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards. The new XWIS integration dramatically simplifies enterprise connectivity and drilldown of geographic data streamlining the process down to a few clicks.

“Individually, XWIS and GMaps Plugin provide significant value to some of the largest companies in the world,” said Centigon Solutions CEO, Ryan Goodman. “Now with this integration customers can approach any complex location intelligence dashboard project with complete confidence.”

Donald MacCormick, Chief Product and Marketing Officer of Antivia explained “Getting corporate data into maps, particularly where you want to be able to drill down (e.g. from a state view to a city view) can be a time-consuming and fiddly process involving multiple database queries and many, many inter-connected Excel formulas. The integration we’ve developed with Centigon Solutions massively reduces this complexity, meaning that any SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards and Xcelsius developers can now easily add rich, interactive maps to their dashboards with just a point and a click … and with not a single Excel formula in sight”

The results of this integration are exemplified in a video where a connected, interactive, map-based dashboard based on existing SAP BusinessObjects data is created in just 34 seconds (see the video: “Build GIS dashboards in 34 seconds flat” http://go.antivia.com/34secondGIS.html)

The XWIS and GMaps Plugin integration is available with the latest version of XWIS: XWIS 3.0.
