Location becoming pervasive Google Maps, Google Earth Satellite Navigation Personal GPS devices RFID tags GNAF – Geocoded National Address File Expectation that Location will be available in main Business Reporting context and tied to it Easy to do, not require GIS skills or programming How do we achieve this??
33. How do I get this to work with my BI From our BI data we can dynamically create layers over base map layers using templates Typically in BI you will have address data or aggregated data by location such as postcode
34. Geocoding my database Typically you will have address data located within your systems Process address data through a geocoder and store latitudes and longitudes in database with the address record Map Intelligence is be hooked to the Google geocoding service, both on-line and in batch mode
35. Spatial layers from BI Extract latitude and longitude points into BI report Use latitude and longitudes to create point layers on map, theme in different ways based on other business data Use points created on map to create relationship layers – relate points to each other, through radius measure, relate points to layers in the map Use Aggregated BI data such as totals by postcodes and relate to postcode data in the map

39. Spatial value to BI and vice versa Examples of spatial value to BI Postcodes not adjacent Addresses don’t show proximity. Two houses could be in different suburbs but be across the road.
