New and Improved GeoRoom 3.0 Released to Production

Posted in GeoIntelis, GeoRoom, Service News

HOUSTON, TX, July 19, 2006 – R7 Solutions announced today the release of version 3.0 of GeoRoom, its flagship location-aware business process management system. Heralded as a major step forward by current users of the software, 3.0 incorporates additional labeling, search, reporting, and performance features.

“All of the new features included in 3.0 were designed based on client requests. Users of our hosted service were using these features on the day of release and we started receiving calls and e-mails thanking us for the updates immediately,” said GeoRoom Product Manager Jeff Darlington.

Chief among the major updates is the inclusion of web-based map labeling, including labeling items from any integrated dataset available in GeoRoom. This means oil and gas production numbers, appraisal information, ownership information, project names, or any other field can be used to label map features automatically.

Given the number of users who work with land parcel information daily, the addition of a new Parcel Data Report is welcomed. This new feature allows users to instantly produce a full parcel data report with two mouse clicks: one to select the parcels and one to generate the report, with or without a map highlight of the parcel at the top of the report.

The Extended Property Search allows users to combine geographic and textual criteria in a single advanced search. This allows for the creation of highly complex searches within a particular geographic extent that also match a particular data field.

Entirely web-based, GeoRoom presents users with a map-based interface that incorporates many familiar mapping tools as well as tools for loading and viewing documents, searching for database records and files in a variety of connected systems, and for drawing polygon features on the map to mark locations and projects.

GeoRoom is used to perform research, share project information, and manage business processes within the enterprise. GeoRoom users can build projects, attach personal notes and documents, and share those projects with other users. The system is available on a subscription basis or through an enterprise license. New versions are also available for asset management, pipeline and corridor systems, and energy exploration and production. GeoRoom users include energy and pipeline companies, real estate companies, investment firms, and municipalities and local governments.

GeoRoom runs on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Internet Information Server with an ASP.Net application framework to leverage existing corporate infrastructure investments and skills. With built-in hooks into ArcIMS, ArcSDE and ArcView, GeoRoom is fully compatible with existing corporate GIS infrastructure.

Designed with ease of integration at its core, GeoRoom uses XML files to configure all connections and search parameters and comes with a variety of document management options and integration toolkits. By using a central metadata model to relate third-party document management, relational database, and legacy data systems to the spatial database, GeoRoom allows a company to bridge the gap between its many silos of enterprise and project data.

GeoRoom can use Microsoft’s SharePoint Portal Server by default to provide document storage, collaboration, workflow and searching. Additionally, Documentum, FileNet, and other document management systems can also be geographically indexed and linked into the system.
