Tom Sawyer Software announced the company's product roadmap for supporting online geospatial data services. The first of these services to be provided is the Oracle Fusion Middleware MapViewer.

Tom Sawyer Software's support of web-based geospatial services is in response to the growing need for visual analysis applications that integrate geospatial data with business data. With the added support for Oracle MapViewer, Tom Sawyer Software customers can now more quickly integrate complex data from disparate sources with different geospatial data services in their visual analysis applications.

The ability to easily integrate geospatial data with business data extends the already powerful capabilities of the data integration architecture and rule-based filtering technology found in Tom Sawyer Perspectives. Visual analysis application developers use advanced filtering technology to selectively build and evaluate integrated insights from multiple data sources in the context of time, certainty, and geospatial location. Geospatial data integration capabilities further enhance their ability to build multiple views of relational graphs for sophisticated social and dynamic network visual analysis in fields such as defense and intelligence, law enforcement, financial forensics, and cyber warfare.

Tom Sawyer Perspectives is graphics-based software for developing production data-oriented visual analysis applications. It is a complete Software Development Kit with a rule-based design methodology that enables software developers to focus on visualization and analysis rather than the data details. Tom Sawyer Perspectives enables teams to quickly create and deploy a wide range of sophisticated and flexible visualization and social network analysis applications.
