Bing Maps Platform

What is it? 

The Bing Maps Platform enables us to enhance data management and reporting capabilities. We can use the platform's flexible APIs to integrate with your existing business data and interoperate with your information systems to build really engaging applications that use online maps.

Bing Maps operates across the Internet or on your intranet. Users can access your solution from virtually any device capable of receiving Web data.  After users submit information, your server requests a map from the Bing Platform using technologies such as JavaScript APIs or SOAP-based HTML. Users then receive content-rich maps without leaving your site, which is crucial in an environment where distractions and competitors are just a click away.

What does it do?

Bing maps delivers highly visual and immersive Web experiences.  Customising your web site can help you better meet business goals such as increasing site traffic, building community, and strengthening customer relationships. And your internal users can work more efficiently and respond better to changes by using Bing Maps to explore and visualise rich sets of complex information.

We can integrate Bing Maps with nearly any data source, which provides unlimited opportunities for customisation and personalisation.  We can also deliver maps through multiple devices, from PC through PDA to mobile phone.  These solutions can be used to enhance worker productivity, attract potential customers, enhance logistics operations, and much more. 

Silverlight

Silverlight allows us to deliver interactive mapping that makes the user experience far more fluid than the less functional Google Maps service. Silverlight driven Bing Maps also allows users to seamlessly switch between maps, satellite images and highly detailed aerial photos.
