SpatialKey Hitting The Big Time

September 05, 2008 · No Comments

This month's issue of ComputerWorld contains a cover story titled: "Can Web 2.0 Save BI?".  SpatialKey is featured on the cover of the issue as part of the article!  The article goes into depth about how the Ogden Police Department is using Web 2.0 (SpatialKey Law Enforcement, in particular) to analyze data in seconds, rather than days.  Doug and Ben go into this article in a bit more detail if you want to learn more about it.  

Anyway, here is the cover:
