PlanGraphics’ New Xmarc Release Adds Functions

FRANKFORT, Ky., December 13, 2004—PlanGraphics, Inc. (Pink Sheets: PGRA) will launch release 2 of the Xmarc Enterprise Spatial (ES) software suite 6.1 on Jan. 2, 2005. The new release will add several key new functions.

For many Xmarc users, the most significant addition will be the “service metrics” function, which will provide performance and usage information for back-end services. It will allow the user to track system performance and make informed decisions about increasing or decreasing the number of service instances, and thus the system’s operating costs.

Other added functions will include:

  • Image support: Xmarc Fire will be able to read MrSID and JPEG 2000 image file formats.
  • Audio recording: An audio recording capability will be added to the Windows version of Fire. The user will be able to select the recording format.
  • Service time zone management: Timed messages from running services will now be displayed in local time rather than Greenwich Mean Time.
  • Resource dialogues: Two new system tools will be added to the Windows version of Fire. One enables a folder/directory to be selected from a list; the other enables a color to be selected or created.

The Xmarc Enterprise spatial suite is a middleware product that is complementary to industry standard relational databases and provides persistent and secure connectivity over an Internet/intranet connection as well as spatial query and rendering. This architecture is solid, reliable, scalable, secure and proven.
