Posted in Company News

HOUSTON, TX, July 27, 2006 – The July 27, 2006 edition of GIS Monitor, a leading geographic information system industry weekly with 23,000 subscribers internationally, featured R7 Solution’s GIS software offerings in an article titled Robust Web GIS by senior editor Matteo Luccio.

Introducing R7 Solutions, Luccio discusses one of R7’s many hosted geospatial solutions:

This week I came across an exceedingly simple yet extremely robust Web GIS application Built as a companion to the book Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe, by Harvard University professor Graham Allison, this application has held up to millions of hits over the past two years peaking everytime Allison demonstrates the application on national television. The blast maps site is so robust because it was built by R7 Solutions a company based in Houston, Texas, that specializes in complex, mission-critical Web GIS applications for government agencies and large energy and real estate companies.

The article goes on to interview R7’s Bryan Hassin, Managing Partner, about the advantages of web-based delivery of GIS applications and discusses the features and actual applications of GeoRoom, R7’s flagship product. In response to the question, What are the key ideas behind GeoRoom? Hassin replied:

There are three. Number one, the ability to integrate all of these disparate data sources into a single map-oriented interface very rapidly, without modifying anyone else’s system. Number two, the ability to use geographic tools to drive non-geographic analyses and vice versa. Number three, the democratization of GIS to make it available over the web; people don’t need to install special software or undergo special training. [We are] helping to push out GIS data and functionality to everyone.

The article continues with a discussion of the recent release of GeoRoom Enterprise 3.1 , high availability GIS application hosting, and the cost savings of hosted GIS.
