ILOG JViews Maps is the solution for delivering asset-management map displays. Its completely open API is designed to hide the complexity of building such displays by handling all the lower-level mapping engine functionality.

In general, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) focus on map creation, such as placing news roads or buildings on a map, and map distribution across servers and networks. JViews Maps effectively complements GIS by reusing GIS data and by allowing for fast and efficient applications that permit quick background map development.
