A breakthrough in the field of WEB-GIS

KHEOPS technologies presents JMap 4.0

Montreal, September 30th 2009 - The Montreal-based company KHEOPS technologies presented today the fourth generation of JMap - its flagship product solution to improve communication and operations by creating a georeferenced HUB with secured access to the organisation's data intelligence and business applications.

JMap 4.0 provides significant changes on many levels. Enhanced collaboration and editing tools offer all the required flexibility for communication and decision-making. Everyone who had a sneak-preview agrees - this fourth generation of JMap will bring many new benefits to users and partners alike such as improved assets management and overall security.

With this new generation of product, KHEOPS is proud to confirm its membership and contribution to the Open Source community by including a JMap AJAX client based on Open Layers technologies. KHEOPS also reasserts its commitment to interoperability by adding new OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) connectors (WMS, GML, WFS) and industry-standard database formats (PostGIS, MySQL Spatial, Oracle locator...) to the solution.

 
Among functional improvements, we find: 

  • A new graphic interface with a modern look that offers: more flexibility with modular, dockable and retractable components;  enhanced label positioning that follow curves, a lens tool to magnify the section below the cursor without zooming; synchronized views and synchronised cursors for easier comparisons; display of tabular data...

  • A mouse-over with HTML enabled content to add intelligent web pages, images, videos, data capture forms... Creation and editing of personal layers that can be shared or saved in relational tables on the server.

  • An alert and message manager allowing simultaneous and different actions depending on the type of message (notifications of contexts reception, messages from the administrator, security alarms, etc.) .

  • A mobile "out of the box" client interface for the Blackberry.

 
  • A completely redesigned administration interface to improve ease-of-use and user experience.
The official launching of JMap 4.0 will take at the 5th JMap User Conference that will be held on October 20, 2009, in the tower of Montreal's Olympic stadium. Users conference, a highly-awaited event which will be held in Montreal, at the Olympic Stadium Tower.

 Since the firm's creation in 1995, KHEOPS Technologies is well known for the implementation of interactive geopublishing solutions.  JMap, its flagship product, operates on Web based technology, thus allowing organisations to easily distribute their georeferenced applications and data intelligence throughout corporate, public and mobile networks.  JMap reads industry standards without conversion and can be extended via a program development tool in Java.
