Cadcorp, the developer of the Cadcorp SIS - spatial information system range of GIS software is now shipping Cadcorp SIS V6.

Cadcorp SIS V6 is the latest version of an integrated line of GIS products first introduced to the market in 1995. As before, the Cadcorp SIS product suite will cover desktop, Web and developer offerings. All originate from one single installed executable, guaranteeing across-the-board product compatibility.

The product mix of Cadcorp SIS 'off the shelf' modules, namely: Map Viewer, Map Manager, Map Editor and Map Modeller remain. Owing to their great success, the ActiveX modules for Map Viewer, Map Manager and Map Modeller will also continue as runtime platforms for third party developers keen to embed SIS capability into their applications using the Cadcorp SIS Software Developers Kit (SDK).

The Cadcorp SIS Active Server Component (ASC) has been implemented widely around the world, including installations for Factory Mutual Global, Ernst & Young, Medway Council and Belgian utility company, WVEM. This flagship Web product stays in the Cadcorp SIS inventory.

Highlights of Cadcorp SIS V6 include continuous panning, allowing a smooth rolling scroll from one data view to another, support for Active Data Objects (ADO), a slick new database connection wizard to streamline database connectivity and the support for user defined 'plug-in' gazetteers.

Cadcorp ASC (active server component) extends the functionality of Cadcorp SIS for use over the Internet or a company-wide intranet. It is a dynamic, server-side Web-based GIS, not merely a map-publishing tool for pre-authored images. Cadcorp ASC provides a true, interactive Web-based solution for realtime map creation and analysis.
