Internet Map Services

Internet Mapping Services (IMS) enable the distribution of geographic information and tools over the Internet or a corporate intranet. Internet mapping services support a wide variety of client platforms by using communication standards such as HTML and XML to deliver spatial data and applications. By hitting an IMS enabled website a user can access all the functionality of GIS with nothing more than an Internet browser. Internet mapping services are even being used to deliver maps and spatial data to cellular phones and other handheld devices. On the server side, Internet mapping services allow a high degree of scalability by providing a range of solutions that suit a users needs while efficiently managing server resources. Internet mapping services easily integrate with spatial databases.

Internet mapping services are the right solution for your business if your data and tools must be accessible to your users anytime, anywhere. However, Internet mapping services can require large investments in hardware, software, and time.
