HOW IT WORKS - AND WHY?

Map Manager from Sokigo will let You administer most of Your Spectrum Spatial map environments set-up - all from our add-on tool in MapInfo Professional. It not only gives you the ease of getting Your maps as You want them in the Web client. It also lets You create and edit user roles and functionality profiles and more. here are some of the benefits:

Build, Administer, Publish and Update complete MI-Workspaces with complex map content and User profiles/functionality.
Perhaps even? - Migrate Your map Environment from local/network file system to Spectrum Spatial server
To be able to! - be interoperable, to use/edit the same maps in MapInfo Pro and Spectrum Spatial - at the same time
Why not - Add, edit and administer User roles/profiles and settings for Spectrum Spatial directly in Map Manager?
And so on...

The tool and only solution that can handle this is Map Manager from Sokigo!

In short - MapInfo and Spectrum are two great but individual product lines with two different ways of handling maps. Out of the box from Pitney Bowes, You will get Map Uploader - a small MapInfo Pro tool that lets You publish simple map layers and configure them in Spectrum. In a "fire-and-forget" manor and with some work in different admin-tools You will be able to upload single business layers and manually build map projects in Spectrum. Not bad - but a lot of work in both platforms with results that does not please us all?
