GeoConcept removes barriers to use of geographic information systems with internet-based Web ServerUsing Web Server via the internet, companies can access a geographical representation of information they hold without needing in house technical knowledge of mapping systems. GeoConcept expects Web Server to be used in all growth application areas where it is useful to show the location of say branches of a retail chain or offices, warehouses or delivery points. GeoConcept's Web Server acts as a company's cartographic database, hosted and managed by GeoConcept. It allows companies to share costs between different divisions within the company. Also, as the data and services accessed are effectively rented rather than purchased for each client, companies will be able to access and use cartographic data at lower cost. "With WebServer, GeoConcept is removing the last barriers to the use of geographic information systems by any company, no matter what its size," said Guillaume Beauregard, director of sales and marketing at GeoConcept. "Companies need no GIS expertise in-house and what is more, WebServer drastically lowers entry, maintenance and access costs so they pay only for what they get." Users of Web Server pay a monthly fee to GeoConcept based on usage and the service level required. Secure application servers can be provided on an exclusive or shared basis. GeoConcept assigns a system administrator to each client to ensure the site is fully maintained.
