From retail to financial services to telecommunication and government, location information plays a key role in decisions that can make or break an organization's success. But many of the spatial operations used in location intelligence applications are highly compute-intensive, requiring considerable additional processing capacity in the data warehouse.
The cost, complexity and high level of expertise required to analyze and manipulate spatial data have historically created a divergence between GIS and IT infrastructures. Over time, this has tended to create a distinct "spatial silo" in many enterprises, with very limited sharing of data and analyses for location intelligence. The result is that the individuals who have access to and understanding of spatial data cannot easily collaborate with the business users or decision makers who could use the information to improve business processes.
But there is a solution! GIS industry veteran Peter Batty will describe ground-breaking data warehouse appliances from Netezza, which have been designed specifically to perform complex analytics on terabytes of data. Guy Carpenter's Shajy Mathai will discuss how that company has leveraged Netezza Spatial™, Netezza's application extension, to provide high-value location analytics applications to its insured business clients.
