For Spatial Workshop users 1 plus 1 is more than just 2. Through aggregation and transformation of data users can create new information and add previously hidden value to their business processes.
Within Spatial Workshop you create collections of Spatial Business Objects. The properties of these business objects can be taken directly from data in one or more data sources.
However more powerful is the fact that new properties may be derived from the existing data and using a powerful expression language.
A powerful expression language
Creating new information on-the-fly is now as easy as it is in, i.e. Microsoft Excel. Add new attributes to your business objects, create relations ships and convert data in many different ways, etc. by using a powerful and flexible expression language.
A context sensitive expression builder assist you when you start or use the expression editor to build advanced expressions. Expand and convert your administrative as well as geographic into the shape that you need it:
- text, date, time and numeric expressions
- geographic expressions to convert and extend attributes like points, lines, polygons
- gather administrative geographic data into compound record sets
- link data, maps, websites, etc.
Discover hidden business value
Disclose the hidden value in your existing data sources, like:
- The location of your customers on the map or on your networks;
- The relationship between data within different systems, like your GIS, SAP, DMS, faults, complaints, etc.;
- Network structures, not available in your source data, like network sections, etc.
- Link data from different operational systems on-the-fly
