thincSoft Integrates thincVIew with Netezza Spatial
By Niladri Sekhar Nath, TMCnet Contributor
thincSoft, a developer of Web 2.0 applications, has integrated its thincVIew application with Netezza Spatial, the spatial extension to Netezza's data warehouse appliance.
"We are excited to work with an industry leader like Netezza," said thincSoft COO, Jim Kowalski. "The combination of our two products - Netezza's data appliance and our Visual Intelligence application - will help customers see their location data better and faster and enable improved decision making across customers in many industries including Retail, Financial Services, and Consumer Products."
thincVIew enables companies to combine maps (including indoor floor plans or CAD drawings) together with key business data for context-specific decision-making. Initially developed for use in the Department of Defense, this visualization software now enables companies to see their data in a new and more effective way.
The collaboration between thincVIew and Netezza Spatial is set to leverage the growing need for location-specific information in today's enterprises. Studies show that over 80 percent of data maintained by corporations has a location component and demand for location-based data is growing across organizations, often from non-traditional users of such data.
"As a BI and visualization expert focused specifically on location intelligence, thincSoft is a great complement to Netezza's high performance analytic capabilities in bringing out the true value of location analytics for our customers," stated Jon Shepherd, general manager, Location-Based Solutions.
