GeoReport blog is born

GeoReport blog aims to continue all discussions started during 2009-2010 until now concerning Open Source GeoSpatial Business Intelligence and Inova products for Location Intelligence.

What is GeoReport?

GeoReport is an interactive decision-support tool, caracterized by a WebGIS OGC compliant interface connected with analytics and reporting tools provided by external BI platforms.

GeoReport allows to generate reports based on thematic maps (Report Cartographic) using spatial data coming from different sources (SHP, GeoJSON, WMS, WFS, WCS, GoogleMap, OpenStreetMap, etc. ..) and intrinsically linked to many others of different kind (coming from DBMS, file systems, OLAP, CRM, ERP, etc…). Thanks to an intuitive web interface, users can analyze the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) directly on the territory.

GeoReport is also configurable so that users can easily set all the parameters needed for executing reports, visualizing maps, recovering data, setting indicators and maps thematization.

What does Georeport?

• Associates the “business data” (those of interest for the user) to cartographic features provided through OGC protocols or direct access to file system
• Executes a variety of reports by clicking on a cartographic map elements: pie charts, bar charts, indicators, tables, pivot, etc. ..
• Exports reports in the most common exchange formats (PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, TXT, etc. ..)
• Thematizes map by using geostatistical techniques such as Choropleths or Propotionals based on results obtained by querying “business” data (SQL, scripting in various languages, Web Services connections, OLAP queries, etc.. .)
• Detects users by role enabling or disabling them data and reports access

Which version?

• Old versions of GeoReport stand alone tool support both PentahoBI (until 3.x) and SpagoBI suites (until 2.3).

• territorial analysis in general (zoning violations and land misuse, taxes, environmental, personal safety, trasports, etc…)
