IDV Solutions today released Visual Fusion SaaS, a new product that combines the benefits of its Visual Fusion visual mashup software with the advantages of software as a service. With Visual Fusion SaaS, an organization can create an unlimited number of mashups and data visualizations within a Microsoft SharePoint portal on IDV-managed servers.

Visual Fusion SaaS lets users rapidly develop solutions in areas like physical security and asset management, situational awareness, retail analysis, and supply chain management. Using site templates and drag-and-drop tools, users can unite SharePoint List and Library content, Web feeds, ShapeFiles, spreadsheets, documents, and more in a single view on top of Bing Maps. The product includes a highly responsive user interface, which organizations can brand with custom logos and icons.

Each Visual Fusion SaaS deployment includes a SharePoint portal, where the user can publish websites, wikis, blogs, and other content, in addition to Visual Fusion mashups. VF SaaS includes Bing Maps for Enterprise services, support services, and data storage, backup, and security.

"Moving into the SaaS environment lets us offer the power to visualize, interact with, and collaborate around data to a wider group of customers," explained Ian Clemens, IDV Solutions Chief Technology Officer. "With the SaaS option, we can provide a superior user interface and the advantages of mashups to organizations that need to minimize the costs of infrastructure or the risks of new application development."

With this release, Visual Fusion continues its lead in the data mashup and visualization market, supporting business users with relevant content at their fingertips, optimized for decision making.
