APOS Systems Inc.

APOS Systems is a business intelligence solutions company, headquartered in Cambridge, Ontario. They have been a Certified Business Partner with Business Objects since 1996, and a Business Objects Technology Partner in 2004. APOS Systems became an ESRI Canada Business Partner in 2005 in order to capture the synergies between Business Intelligence and GIS technology.

The APOS Integration Kit for ESRI GIS is an integration and communication bridge between the ESRI and Business Objects platforms, delivering "Location Intelligence". This solution provides for bi-directional integration between these platforms, so that ESRI map viewers can prompt context sensitive reports to be generated and deployed. As well, report designers can create compelling reports that display ESRI map content within the reports, and display that content in a meaningful way along with non-ESRI data. With this solution, the power of the ESRI platform is combined with the power of the Business Objects reporting and business intelligence platform, resulting in broader distribution, usage and consumption of ESRI content, and yielding a very positive impact on the ROI of an organization's ESRI investment.


APOS' "ESRI GIS Toolkit" combines geographic information from ArcGIS, with
common dashboard analytics of Business Objects

Unlike a custom development solution, the APOS solution is a fully supported software product that can be implemented and deployed rapidly.
