Hi, I'm Chethan — a Cloud Architect writing about software, personal finance, telecom, and automobiles.
Hexagon AB, the leading global provider of design, measurement and visualisation technologies, entered into the new space of online marketing
with the launch of Hexagon Marketplace. The announcement was made at the ongoing Hexagon Conference. With this launch, major Hexagon offerings are now available online - hardware, software and training. Currently the store is limited to U.S. customers but it will be made available worldwide in a few months (See image below ‘Note’ at the end).
Today leading Cloud GIS solution provider, GIS Cloud has come up with a one-click solution to publish maps to the cloud. This solution GIS Cloud Publisher for ArcMap. Another good news is the extension is free to download and use. As rightly noted by GIS Cloud, publishing maps from desktop has never been so easy - one had to hunt for appropriate map server technologies, upload contents separately, maintain and optimize them for different platforms.
It certainly won’t be an exaggeration if I say every business out there is on social networks. Social media presence demands reasonable amount as investments. Companies are said to hire dedicated social media managers to handle their wide account portfolio on different networks. These managers are responsible for providing updates to the world about company’s initiatives and also take up activities like solving customer issues. Numerous success stories can be found on how small companies made it big with the help of social media. These days social media like twitter form the core of every revolution around the world. Inspired by the way public opinions can be measured, Government agencies are also not left behind in joining the social media bandwagon. Celebrities are everywhere with huge number of followers!
Earlier at the Hexagon 2011 conference, ERDAS and Intergraph had announced new data revision workflows. A prominent demonstration was also made on ‘Live Link’ capability which enabled live syncing of views and analysis results between ERDAS Imagine and GeoMedia. Later in the year Intergraph and ERDAS hosted a series of webinars, Synergy Series showcasing collaborative innovation. It was like emerging of a new power in the geospatial industry which will ultimately help the world in a big way. Clearly set objectives were a reason for this.
