Panoramic Maps
Panoramic is a project portfolio management system that combines elements of project management, performance management, and content management with sophisticated reporting and GIS functionality. This unique combination of features allows Panoramic to track, report, and map projects in a portfolio to assist with decision making and promote transparency. Panoramic Maps functionality enhances the application’s project tracking and communication abilities by empowering users and organizations to display and report project information in its spatial context.

Ease of Use
Panoramic Maps technology is fast, easy to use, and can be quickly implemented. Panoramic Maps delivers GIS capabilities using Microsoft’s Sivlerlight technology, allowing Maps to run in a web browser. Maps is a comparitvely light GIS that runs on limited bandwidth connection and is optimized to quickly load basemaps and vector features, decreasing the amount of time users spend waiting for data to load.
Panoramic Maps was specifically designed for use by project and program managers. This targeted design approach translates to a GIS that is simple to use for people with no GIS experience. Maps allows users to view GIS data on the map, create features (points, lines, or polygons), print maps, and report on projects by location. Users can create new project locations by simply entering the map, clicking a “Create location” button, and sketching on the map using a mouse. Features can be copied from shapefiles or REST web services to save time sketching features and increase accuracy. Users can create locations using defined vertex coordinates in Lat/Long or local coordinate systems. Unlike ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS Online, this functionality is ready to use immediately with limited end-user training and no coordination needed with GIS technicians.

Application integration
Panoramic Maps is fully integrated into the Panoramic application. Maps enhances an organization’s ability to track, manage, and share project portfolio information by providing a spatial context. This powerful dimension allows organizations to track the performance of projects as well as relate project performance to their spatial location.

Data integration using REST web services
Panoramic Maps augments existing ArcGIS Server implementations for organizations that have already invested in enterprise GIS solutions from ESRI. ArcGIS server REST web services can be published to provide data, routing, and geo-processing to Maps. Maps can consume and interact with these services. This approach leverages an existing GIS by enabling GIS departments to manage data and geo-processing they are responsible for, while making this information available to users that need it in an easily understood format. Data and processes published in the web service are managed by the GIS department allowing them to set standards for symbology, accuracy, and attribute data.
