We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Overview ARC GREENLAB develops and markets specialized applications based on ArcGIS ® technology in the fields of cadastral survey, municipal and forestry with a customer list that includes municipalities, government agencies and state offices along with companies in the supply and disposal, construction, telecommunications, transportation, planning and engineering industries.
The customer wants to integrate different local database applications into a centralized browser-based intranet application. A server based GIS link is to be delivered at a later stage.
A centralized database application with GIS integration for State Office for Consumer Protection and Agriculture in Brandenburg/Germany is created in this project.
The Solution The team chose Visual WebGui as the platform for the new solution because it allowed them to create the GUI of the application within a short period of time and with very friendly controls to the end user within a web environment. Eventually, the time to market period is significantly shorter compared to a classic ASP.NET approach.
The creation of the GUI during the prototyping phase of the project was very fast. The deployment of the project worked very well on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.
