Autodesk Enhances Geospatial Software Solutions for Utilities, Telecommunications and Government
Autodesk announced the latest versions of its geospatial solutions, which provide users in utility and telecommunications organizations and government agencies with a powerful, affordable and flexible geospatial platform.
Enhancements in AutoCAD Map 3D 2009, Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2009 and AutoCAD Raster Design 2009 software applications build on the solutions’ fundamental properties of open data access and interoperability with other design, GIS and IT systems.
In addition, the new products offer a user environment and new tools to help organizations quickly capitalize on their staff’s expertise with AutoCAD software and with existing spatial data.
“Global infrastructure is falling farther behind the needs of emerging and developed nations, and the organizations and agencies that must address the issue are grappling with a shortage of experienced workers,” said Lisa Campbell, vice president, Autodesk Geospatial. “Autodesk geospatial solutions combine design and geospatial information without requiring difficult customization, so that users can make fast, insightful decisions and improve engineering standards –and ultimately, accelerate project completion.”
With its 2009 geospatial solutions, Autodesk is expanding on two key principles that address customers’ needs: an open, flexible and interoperable geospatial platform, and tools that are easy to learn and use. The latest enhancements build on an open architecture that preserves data integrity and helps ensure that vital design and spatial asset information moves in and out of systems easily. The software applications and their open application programming interfaces serve as the basis for solutions purpose-built for utility companies by Autodesk and third-party software developers.
