Ozri Update: Stream C Session Snapshot

Kicking off our first Friday session was Nik Henry from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, discussing the Land Management Database System which is being used to standardise the spatial reporting of Natural Resource Management investment across NSW.  Since 2001 the system has undergone ad-hoc development and customisation driven by the user base, and has now progressed to a multi platform system that can be used in ArcMap, Dekho and an IOS Mobile App.

Ozri Update: Stream D Session Snapshot

We have just heard from Adrian Denning from ATCO Gas Australia, who discussed how important the accuracy of information is to the organisation.  Adrian spoke about how spatial correctness and accuracy is essential for the location of ATCO Gas’ assets, using the example of Dial Before You Dig.

From a utility of a different kind, LinkWater’s Jawad Youssef spoke about how Dekho is being used in the organisation by staff with little or no GIS knowledge or familiarity.  Jawad detailed the efficiency improvements achieved at LinkWater through the integration of GIS into the organisation’s workflows.

Introducing… Dekho 3.1!!!

        

It’s here. We are excited to let you know that Dekho 3.1 has officially been released!    

As you can tell, we’re pretty excited by the launch of Dekho 3.1 which adds some cool new functionalities and capabilities to our geographic web application server….

 How is Dekho 3.1 different?  Well, in a nutshell, it’s simply a better product. We spent around nine months developing, consolidating and improving Dekho. So, song and dance aside, what’s makes this version of  Dekho so cool (well in our opinion anyway, we hope you agree)…   

 Some of my favourite highlights include…      

 

The Count Down is On! Introducing Dekho 3.1′s open integration framework

Integration has always played a big role in Dekho web applications, which is why we are really excited to announce that Dekho 3.1 comes with an ‘open integration framework’.

Dekho’s ‘open integration framework’ delivered as part of the 3.1 release means you can connect to any line of business system in your organisation.

So what does this mean? Well, it means that now Dekho  will be able to integrate with more systems (and don’t forget data) providing you with the information you want, when you want it.

If you haven’t been keeping your eye on the Dekho blog (which we would love you to do) the Dekho product team just posted some nice shots of the improved interface that is coming with 3.1.
