Looking to the future of Intergraph – GeoMedia 6.0 Product Suite
It is true that ESRI doesn’t have much competition at this point from the other large GIS companies (Intergraph and MapInfo). I am hoping that GeoMedia 6.0 Product Suite will kick their interface up to the level that their data integration has been at for a while.
New from ESRI, Image Server
