Envinsa™ Location Platform

Envinsa™ is a new suite of location capabilities that enables organizations to integrate location into existing applications as well as to create and deliver new location-enabled applications made to order by a specific business unit. 

As IT managers and CIO's have sought out technology investments that both save their company money while making it more successful, they have closed the performance gap that was due to synchronization issues between business units and IT.

These professionals have discovered that, if technology can be tied to the people side of the business, then both the people and the technology fulfill their promise. They have discovered the strategic use of IT to create value in tough economic times, proving the axiom: “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.”

In many organizations, one or more departments will have incorporated location intelligence into their functionality. Dedicated, usually isolated, GIS systems, operated by specialists, provide logistics or marketing support, tourism and shopping information, census results, routing and districting information, E911 tracking and more. Typically these systems are outside the IS and composed of many disparate applications supported through relationships with many different vendors. With Envinsa™, this functionality can be inside the system and available to everybody, everywhere, and at any time. And the entire range of functionality needed can be from one vendor. 

Envinsa™ has proven its success within the wireless industry as it became the standard solution for mobile operators who needed to deliver many – tens, hundreds or even thousands of – applications to thousands or millions of users. To accomplish this, functionality had to be precise, developer interfaces had to be simple, management needed to be straightforward and scalability and performance was paramount.
