GTS Analyst combines MetaCarta's revolutionary geographic search with an enterprise-strength engine to enable instant notification to watch standers, investigators and analysts when critical events occur?even when they are away from their station. GTS Analyst uses patent-pending natural language processing (NLP) to automatically read and identify explicit and implied geographic references within structured and unstructured documents. By displaying the geographic location within documents in a traditional GIS environment, important relationships and patterns can be visualized.
To more efficiently focus on the state and local market, MetaCarta has hired John Troiano as Partner Manager, State and Local. Troiano brings over 16 years of experience in developing sales, partner relationships and business operations in the government space.
"Since nearly 80 percent of all digital writing contains at least one or more geospatial references, MetaCarta's technology is a powerful tool for state and local agencies," said Randy Ridley, MetaCarta's Vice President and General Manager of Public Sector Systems. "We're looking forward to helping these agencies better exploit their information to create actionable intelligence faster to support their missions and serve their constituents." MetaCarta will award multiple pilot grants to serve the state and local market with enterprise-class geospatial search technology.
Agencies must act quickly; the grant application must be submitted to MetaCarta no later than October 31, 2006. Agencies can demo MetaCarta's innovative technology, find further details on the program, or apply at www.metacarta.com/state_and_local
