Follow GeoBI initiative on LinkedIn and Twitter!

GeoBI initiative aims to create an open community, composed of all the interested parties, whose primarily scope is to cooperate in order to break down these barriers and make the Location Intelligence adoption pervasive.

GeoBI initiative focuses on open source software and open standards as feasible tools to reach its goals respecting the initiative key principles. It doesn’t mean that only open source companies or actors can take part in the initiative. All companies and actors, involved in Location Intelligence and basing their products on open source software and/or open standards to some extents, are more than welcome.

GeoBI initiative is a joint effort of companies, organizations, projects’ communities and individuals set up to:

• improve the coordination work in the Location Intelligence area
• disseminate BI knowledge in the GIS world and vice-versa
• promote the standard-based integration between BI and Geographical Systems
• strengthen connections and support new business opportunities among members
• create a research network on Location Intelligence topics
• turn research results into innovative applications.

Thinking to a more structured initiative

During these years, INOVA has been focused deeply on GeoSpatial Businss Intelligence giving you, through this blog, an overview about the main principles, products, open standards, research results and tools. GeoBI.org has been a place in which we have shared everything about the Open Source Location Intelligence.

We believe it's the time to rationalize all the efforts we've done until now and turn GeoBI Open Source Project in a more organized entity!

We want to cooperate more closely with our partners in order to make pervasive the adoption of GeoBI, provide industrial results, add value to the existing projects and create new business opportunities.

We are now thinking about a more structured initiative just starting from the experience of these years. The initiative will be lauched in the next weeks.


Stay tuned! :-)
