Press Release Body: Reston, Va., [August 7, 2008] Applied Knowledge Group, Inc. (AKG) will host a seminar, Turbo Charge Knowledge Sharing with Geospatial Data Visualization in SharePoint, to help government and businesses learn how this exciting technology can significantly extend the value of their SharePoint implementation. This seminar will demonstrate solutions that render geospatial images overlaid with a variety of critical data points. Often called "mashups," data visualization brings clarity to data, and translates it into meaningful knowledge. Geospatial mashups allow you to easily paint a powerful picture to demonstrate the impact of the data points in various scenarios.
The Seminar will be September 5, 2008, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Microsoft Office in Washington D.C. Due to high demand, advance registration is required. IDV Solutions, an AKG software partner, will co-host the seminar. The event will include exciting demonstrations of geospatial solutions built in SharePoint. AKG will demonstrate solutions using Microsoft SilverlightTM technology and IDV will show solutions built with their exclusive Visual Fusion SuiteTM software.
Jim O'Farrell, AKG's Chief Operating Officer, commented that, "We are excited to demonstrate our expertise in creating geospatial data visualizations with both IDV's Visual Fusion Suite and Microsoft's Silverlight technology. Combined with the excellent map tools available, these are remarkable technologies that offer a wide range of advantages to both government and business. Use of these tools is taking off in both the public and private sectors because visual imagery is so powerful. We are proud to be able to share our knowledge and help serve the mission of both government and business."
