GeoMedia

Intergraph's GeoMedia is a geographic information system (GIS) application for working with and conducting analysis on geographic information as well as producing maps from that analysis. GeoMedia is used for the following:
 * Creating geographic data
 * Managing geospatial databases
 * Joining business data, location intelligence, and geographic data together
 * Creating hard and softcopy maps
 * Conducting analysis in 'real-time'
 * Providing base platform for multiple applications
 * Validating geographic data
 * Publishing geospatial information
 * Analyzing mapped information

The system does not rely on proprietary data, but rather accesses and uses data sources directly or data that adheres to open standards, such as those defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium and others. It is an enterprise based system, providing an organization the ability to access, conduct analysis on, and distribute information through the organization or over the Web.
