Abstract - This paper proposes and discusses a GIS that
integrates geographic resources with business intelligence data
from SAP, TIS and other systems. Location is a unifying theme
in business. Location can be an address, a service boundary, a
sales territory, or a delivery route. All these things can be
visualized and interactively managed and analyzed in a GIS.
Spatial relationships, patterns and trends reveal invaluable
husmess intelligence and hring easy-to-understand
visualization to husiness applcatons. Use GIS to answer hasc
or sophisticated question on how to improve husinesses
workflow, management, and ROI (Return on Invest). To be
able to integrate GIS system with other business systems and
processes it is necessary that spatial and non-spatial data are
"no different".

II INTEGRATION CONCEPT SPATIAL DATA WITH
SAP, TIS AND BILLING SYSTEMS
The integration of GIS with SAP applications is critical
for utilities because they typically have unique tasks:
sesadifatutr itiue vrawd
managing assets and infrastructure distributed over a wide
mngn
area, supplying mobile field forces with access to corporate
data, and ensuring optimal utilization of assets
infrastructure, and people in the field through fast,
accurate, and easy access to data and tools 1]. Today with
the emergence of the Web and its associated standards and
be
of enterprise platforms, new applications can
aslcrtdfom hehrdsrves fohr
be easily created from the shared services of other
applications in a oosely coupled, standards-based, and
system-independent environment.
To implement operational GIS pervasively across the
enterprise, project-based point-to-point integration
approaches must be replaced by flexible reusable
integration components that merge SAP applications and
GIS transactions into task-level enterprise services. Users
and applications

and insights on
these services to deliver
transforming SAP and
GIS applications from stand-alone products to reusable,
shared enterprise services that make integrated applications
easier to build and use. These services become vehicles to
launch operational processes and tasks from within a user's
primary application, whether SAP, GIS, or a portal or
dashboard. Users take advantage of the services to monitor
key

business events, trigger alerts and wros

The technology to implement composite applications is

platforms. Both ompaies embra ed Web servicesanri d

 are in the early stages of development. Customers must still
write custom code to orchestrate basic services or develop
new ones. Most decisions in the defense and public
security sector involve a consideration of geograph -y
whether they concern combat command for advancing on
the enemy or resource prioritization in a natural disaster.
So it is not surprising that having a geographic information
system (GIS) as an organization-wide spatial information
and application infrastructure is a critical factor in modern
defense and public security systems. Geographic concepts
and techniques are used to create a common framework to
ensure consistent handling of all entities in the area of
interest. So a GIS goes far beyond the management of
"background" mapping. This is important because true
situational awareness arises when a GIS can support you in
conducting analysis across multiple sources of information.
With a GIS you get not only "where," "why" and
"what" information, but also, and most importantly,
predictive "where will" information. Having a cross-cutting
spatial infrastructure is key to enabling network-centric
operations. With the service-oriented architecture of the
ESRI ArcGIS platform, you can ensure that GIS is
pervasive across all capability areas. A GIS such as this
can offer capabilities that fall into three main categories
[2]:
A GIS enables the distributed storage and dissemination of
spatial knowledge the geodatabase - across industry-
- services. A service is well defined set of actions. It is self
standard data storage and network environments. This
connects te sensors that gather information about a
changing situation to the enterprise management and
decision support systems. Since SAP for Defense &
Security is built on the SAP NetWeaver® platform you
can run a GIS that is certified as Powered by SAP
NetWeaver, like ESRI's ArcGIS directly on the SAP
NetWeaver Application Server component. You can then
integrate the GIS with SAP applications by using the SAP
NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructur compon nt. You can
visualize SAP application data within the GIS and get

Moreover, relevant data can be altered from the graphical
user interface of the SAP applications as well as by using
the graphical functionality of ESRI's GIS. Mapguide server

record which contains customer details and orders.

GIS Service Oriented Architecture
There are lots of services available over the internet.
However it is not possible for individual standalone
services to meet all the service requirements of many users.
Such service requests could be met by dynamically
chaining multiple services provided by single and multiple
service providers [3]. The Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA) recognizes this and tries to construct a distributed,
dynamic, flexible, and re-configurable service system over
Internet that can meet information and service requirements
of many different users. The key component in the SOA is
contained, stateless, and does not depend on the state of
other services. Stateless means that each time a consumer
interacts with a service an action is performed. After the
results of the service invocation have been returned, the
action is finished. The SOA can be implemented at many
different network environments. The major two include the
Web and the Grid. The implementation of SOA in web
environment is called Web Services. In GIS Visualization
Project our major focus will be on Web Services Service
Oriented Architecture. In order to create SOA architecture
for the GIS services we need to create Web Service
correspondences of each GIS services. GIS services can be
