NEW IMS TEMPLATE APPLICATION FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION

"...IMS template offered me an workable alternative to a $30,000 solution to provide basic search/analysis capabilities via the web of the City's new "Enterprise" GIS provided by [Name of consultant withheld]."

"... I just finished watching the IMS videos last night - I must say, that is both really cool and very clever the way you have things working. "

"...I'm been telling people in my office that it was very smart (and I totally agree with you) that instead of making "20 tools" like most IMS's, you made one tool that works 20 different ways!  brilliant! "

"...I really like the way you have separated things so it should be hard, even for me to screw it up, yet easy to tweak."

A few comments from the Manifold listserve:

"I got [the IMS template] awhile ago, and have been having way too much fun with it. I really like being able to do almost all of the editing in HTML, and do a simple browser refresh to see/test the changes as opposed to doing it in .asp and having to reset IIS."

"I haven't done any programming in years, so the fact that I've been able to not only make a very functional IMS site with the IMS Template, but have lots of fun doing it is a real testement to both the product and the training videos!"

"I love the template. I have to say I am not a great programmer either and I have been able to use it with good results. I have to say that I have purchased every training lesson [gisadvisor.com] has put out and have always been very pleased. Even when I have a question about something the email is returned very quickly with helpful information."

"The key here is I was able to develop an inexpensive IMS site, with sophisticated analysis tools, that is very easy to understand and use by those with no knowlegde or understanding of GIS! IMHO, ease of use is very important for the promotion of GIS use accross and entire organization. The cost of both Manifold and the IMS Template are big factors for success. Without these affordable, yet very powerful tools, GIS development would be very difficult."

As highlighted by Manifold, gisadvisor.com has created an advanced template for IMS applications.  Give it a spin at:

http://demo.manifold.net/Monroe/    (gisadvisor.com would like to thank Manifold for agreeing to store a sample IMS application on their site).

With our application template and instructional video you can have a sophisticated site up and running within hours.  Some of the highlights of the gisadvisor.com IMS application template include:

  • tools for measuring distance and selecting features by a box.
  • a working scalebar
  • placeholders to add your own baners and logos
  • the ability to maintain the selection state after queries
  • session objects to handle multiple simultaneous users
  • a toggle tool to zom to selected features
  • the ability to return 100 records for a query 
  • the ability to scroll forward and back through a large selection set
  • the ability to pass in X,Y coordinates from an external application such as a geocoding service (try it here:  http://demo.manifold.net/Monroe/mainpage.asp?xstrt=-74.1817&ystrt=41.3583 )
  • the ability to zoom to individual selected records
  • space for over 30 separate spatial and attribute query tools
  • soundex matching of data input to increase selections
  • an advanced spatial SQL query box for power users
  • the ability to customize the entire look and functionality of the site within minutes based on our innovative design.

NOTE TO MUNICIPALITIES, SMALL ORGANIZATIONS: If you are a municipality or small organization, this is the perfect way to implement a sophisticated IMS application without the need to spend thousands of dollars in consulting costs.  Now is your chance to run with the big dogs.  And, with the training, you can have a site up within a few hours.

NOTE TO CONSULTANTS:  If you offer GIS services, this is the perfect way to build sophisticated IMS applications for your clients ($$imagine the cost to build these tools even if you have a programming staff$$). 

While custom built sites can cost tens of thousands of dollars and still not offer the flexibility of the gisadvisor.com IMS application template, we are offering our application at $500 for each organization.  To purchase the application, click the buy now button below.
