SpatialWare ® allows you to store, access, manage and manipulate spatial data as a standard part of your business data. Spatial data contains geographic information so that it may be represented on a map. Customer records with name, address and telephone numbers are only records in a database. Once the address can be tied to a geographic location on earth, the record becomes spatial information. Display that record with other spatial information on a map and you can see the relationships among the records, allowing you to make more informed decisions about your business data.

With SpatialWare and SQL Server, spatial data may be a part of any SQL Server database insert, update or delete. You can query both spatial and non-spatial data within a single SQL Server query. Spatial data used in conjunction with non-spatial data is being used by companies to find their next customer, increase the number of products and services that are offered to customers, and serve customers better. Spatial data can help answer key questions such as: Where can I buy or service products? Can you get a service truck out to me today? Do you offer cellular service in my area? What is the average home value within a 5 KM radius? All these answers depend on knowing accurate location information. SpatialWare lets you capitalize on this information. You already store key business information in your database; your spatial data should complement and extend the analysis opportunities available from the database.
