We’re just back from successful participation in this week’s Microsoft’s SharePoint Conference (Lost Wages, NV) and GeoInt (San Antonio, TX), and are now looking forward to our online webinar with Microsoft and Vexcel, hosted by Directions Magazine. This October 29th webinar will feature Visual Fusion integration with the Virtual Earth Server (and, no, this product has not yet been renamed Bing Maps Server). We’ll be demonstrating compelling visual mashups for situational awareness and common operating pictures.

Here’s the ‘official’ webinar information:

Join Microsoft's geospatial subsidiary Vexcel Corporation, IDV Solutions and Directions Media for this informational tutorial to gain insights, best practices and "how to's" for developing Web-based, offline location intelligent applications. Attendees will learn how secure networks and mission critical apps can operate as on-premise solutions when the Internet is not an option.

The combination of Bing Maps, the Virtual Earth Server and IDV's Visual Fusion provides a platform to rapidly develop secure, user-friendly, easily accessible applications without reliance on an Internet connection.

Join us for a hands-on tutorial to learn:

· Why there's a need for secure and Internet-independent systems

· How to build an agile and flexible application to meet needs quickly and handle change gracefully

· The advantages of integrating data and systems that multiply the value and impact of those resources

Three specific case studies, from NATO, the Dutch Ministry of Defense and a large metropolitan police force, will be shared.

John Lee, Director of Business Development at Vexcel (a Microsoft subsidiary), and Scott Caulk, Director of Product Management at IDV Solutions (a Microsoft managed partner), will present current case studies demonstrating the Virtual Earth Server and Visual Fusion software and how they are in use and providing value for organizations today.
