SAP, Google and geospatial analytics:
As if Google wasn’t already everywhere in our lives, the omnipresent tech company has found another inroad, this time with some pretty interesting use cases for businesses.
SAP has embedded Google’s mapping APIs - the same ones from Google Maps and Google Earth — within BusinessObjects, which allows companies lay their data over maps for a more visual interpretation of the data with a kind of geospatial dashboard. The idea is not a new one, however. “Mash-ups” have been around in the consumer space for years, just not with enterprise applications. Not only are they looking at their own data, but companies can also upload their own maps as well.
