MUNICH — (BUSINESS WIRE) — October 7, 2013 — Exelis (NYSE: XLS) subsidiary Exelis Visual Information Solutions will highlight recent advances in its ENVI image analysis software for desktop, Web and mobile devices at the annual Esri Europe, Middle East and Africa User Conference (EMEAUC) in Munich, Germany, Oct. 23-25. Exelis partners closely with Esri, the developers of the ArcGIS® software platform, to deliver technologies that allow geographic information systems (GIS) users to extract important information from imagery and use to make more informed decisions.
“Using the strong foundation we’ve created with integrated image analysis tools on the ArcGIS desktop, we’re now working with Esri to make geographic tools and content available in the cloud,” said Jaye Lampe, president of Exelis Visual Information Solutions. “This advance will allow people to collaborate more, operate more efficiently and ultimately reduce the time and resources needed to address image analysis industry problems.”
During the EMEAUC GIS expo and conference, Exelis will highlight how geospatial imagery from a growing number of sensors, in conjunction with ENVI software and ArcGIS, is used to solve problems across industries, particularly in environmental monitoring. Presentations will focus on desktop solutions and also on how ArcGIS users can now author and publish image analysis services through ArcGISOnlinesm, the Esri cloud-based mapping system released in 2012.
Visit the Exelis booth #23 to learn more about its newest ENVI product, ENVI for ArcGIS – Services Edition, which enables ArcGIS for Server users to easily create cloud-based image analysis applications and publish them across an entire enterprise of users.
