This presentation by Dickinson + Associates consultant Cameron Spath will demonstrate geospatial analytics, geospatial logistics, the ability to use BusinessObjects without SAP as the core and the value that high-end executive geospatial dashboards can bring to corporations and their customers. Specifically, this webinar will include BusinessObjects integrated with Google Maps add-on tool (CMaps) that uses a non-SAP data source (SQL). It will conclude with a Dashboard Demo, illustrating how a global leader in fertilizer uses the tool to decrease delivery time, increase profit, organize shipments, allocate shipments to plants and so much more.
