Lansing, MI. August 11, 2008 - IDV Solutions today released Visual Fusion Experience 3.0 (VFX), the award-winning rich internet application (RIA) complement to Visual Fusion Server. VFX is the user experience for the Visual Fusion suite of products, a platform for building visual composite applications which unite disparate data in the common context of location and time. Visual Fusion integrates with many products, including Microsoft SharePoint, SharePoint’s Business Data Catalog, Virtual Earth, SQL Server 2008, Oracle, ArcSDE, Web services and feeds, and other services. VFX enables the dynamic visualization of and intuitive interaction with
enterprise data and Web services through a set of rich user interface components that can be deployed as SharePoint Web Parts or as
interactive Web page components.
The new release of Visual Fusion Experience offers application builders greater flexibility in customizing applications. With the VFX 3.0 release, application creators can add custom icons to the application, adding to the rich palette of options available out of the box. Spatial query is another new feature in VFX 3.0.
Application users can now draw an area on the map and have the data within that area returned in the application creator’s choice of
displays. SharePoint Search usage has also been expanded, giving application creators different options for integrating search into
Visual Fusion applications.
“This release is great for our customers and partners,” explained Ian Clemens, Chief Technology Officer for IDV Solutions.
“Empowering them with new ways to create compelling, useful, highly visual composite
applications significantly increases insight into business concerns as well as business productivity.”
Using Visual Fusion Experience, knowledge workers and decision makers can see data in its full context within the visual composite
application, make new discoveries based on compelling data visualizations, manipulate and interact with all of the content to foster understanding, and contribute to and collaborate around the visual composite application for real competitive advantage.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.How valuable are our efforts on SDIs if we don’t actively address the human issues? Think about all the government regulations, technical implementation plans, internal processes and procedures, data sharing networks and so on. These are arguably meaningless if there is no buy-in or understanding from the people who must deliver against them.
During the 1Spatial Conference 2008 where there was a large number of presentations on a wide range of important industry topics ranging from data quality, data integration and data maintenance to open source and INSPIRE. But there were very few presentations that focused on the human aspects of our business.… More…
