October 22, 2012 -- Like most organizations, Lauderhill, Florida, needed to disseminate GIS data and integrate non-spatial investments through a user friendly GIS portal.  To that end, Lauderhill has implemented GeoBlade Vantage Points from GTG.  Joan Fletcher, GIS Manager for the City of Lauderhill, points out; “our city has invested significant funds in GIS and other IT investments.  We knew that a user-friendly GIS portal that integrates technology was our answer.  However, finding the perfect solution required due diligence.”  Ms. Fletcher selected GeoBlade Vantage Points (GVP) because it was designed to be an all-inclusive portal.  GVP utilizes Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) for a “Web 2.0” user experience that is second to none.  The ArcGIS Server based GVP integrates any corporate IT database with ease.  In the case of Lauderhill, it also incorporates document management – presenting pertinent documents to the end users.  The application integrates visualization tools from Google and Bing, has plug-ins for reverse 911, twitter, crime analysis, emergency dispatch, routing, and a host of other functions.  Curt Hinton, President of GTG, points out; “GeoBlade Vantage Points is the most complete enterprise GIS tool on the market.  We have spent millions of dollars on our backend integration toolset that allows GVP to tie to any technology.  We are excited about assisting organizations like Lauderhill in achieving success by utilizing GIS as the de-facto portal into their enterprise data.” 

GTG is the winner of the 2011 Esri International Mobile GIS Application Award and the 2012 Special Achievement in GIS Award.  GBV webinar dates and sign ups can be found at http://www.geotg.com/webinar/GVPWebinarNov.html For more information contact David Holdstock at 888-757-4222 or email Email Contact.
