SPATIALinfo Announces SDM and SQL Server Integration
(Sydney, Australia, 30 October, 1998) – SPATIALinfo Pty Limited, a leading developer of spatial information software products, today announced the baseline integration of its core SDM (Spatial Data Manager) product with Microsoft SQL Server™ 7.0.
The Technical Director of SPATIAL info, Tony Cotter, said, "SQL Server is becoming an RDBMS of choice for a broad spectrum of corporate customers and independent software vendors. As a member of the Microsoft Developer Network, and with access to the latest SQL Server Beta software, we know that customer needs have driven significant product innovations for SQL Server 7.0 – ease of use, scalability, reliability and data warehousing. We made a fundamental decision that Microsoft's SQL Server and their Universal Data Access strategy matched our own spatial information product strategies. We believe that we have invested wisely in achieving a strategic technology integration outcome."
Peter Mitchell, SPATIAL info's Commercial Director, observed that "…one of SPATIAL info's fundamental beliefs is that customers need to leverage the investments they already have in software infrastructure, spatial data, and working solutions. Increasingly customers are demanding broader enterprise information and data warehousing solutions that are spatially enabled rather than buying islands of technology. SDM is already the world's most fully featured enterprise spatial data engine on ORACLE™. By integrating SDM with Microsoft SQL Server, SPATIALinfo is enabling organisations to make the transition to the spatially enabled enterprise of the future."
Furthermore, Mr. Mitchell said, "An enhanced release of SDM for Microsoft SQL Server is scheduled for January 1999. This ongoing integration is a perfect opportunity for SPATIALinfo to show how well its spatial technologies meet the needs of businesses that want to spatially enable their enterprises in a flexible, affordable way to deliver superior customer service,"
