Is Google getting into Business Intelligence?
Firstly, did you know what is Business Intelligence (BI) ?
BI: is the ways in which we store and use information. It encompass the technologies, applications and means for collecting, integrating, analyzing and presenting business data.
Secondly,
Our most familiar search engine,Google
Google launches Data Explorer which is a new powerful visualization tool that lets you explore, visualize and share the data.
Its a question that I'm sure keeps some software executives awake at night!!! They have all but taken over the web analytics space causing market leaders to move away from the segment all together. With the recent launch of Google Public Data Explorer they are now dipping their toe into the world of data analysis and visualization. Coupled with the recent surge of freely available online databases like OECD Factbook, Un-Employment in the US from the Bureau of Labor and a dozen or so others. Google is truly delivering easy to use and somewhat powerful analytics tools to the masses.
The interface is easy and simple to use includes lots of sliders and click boxes. They have even integrated Google maps into the application to supply simple Geo based features. Its clear that Google could step into the Enterprise Software space pretty easily and with the SaaS and Cloud foundation they already have in place they are well positioned to be a disruptor in the business intelligence arena.

Finally, ,if this feature becomes popular, it will make it a whole lot easier for people and agencies to use one another’s data that allows people to explore various data sets.In my opinion,most of the data providers will make their data available through this technology to increase the use of data in the general discussion about the world. Meanwhile, what do you think regarding on this issues?

Decision Support System
Disaster Management Issue
Before we go through on this topic, can you imagine..
What is the environmental and spatial impact of a chemical accident, a disastrous fire or flooding?
How to manage and control such disasters in terms of protecting people, evacuation of people and avoiding as much as possible environmental impacts?
How to be more and better prepared in case of accidents and disasters?
Recent incidents (Marly fire, dioxin crisis, Katrina) have demonstrated that bringing together relevant information within the shortest time possible and co-ordination of information flows are essential for any of the control measures or scenarios to be applied.
In terms of research demands, this topic depends heavily on input from ICT expertise and ICT techniques, both with respect to hardware issues (sensor integration) as with respect to software issues (client-server GIS systems, modeling web services), in order to keep track of rapidly changing situations.
Therefore, the Decision Support Systems that are developed need to be fast and robust and should provide information to end-users in a user-friendly way.
