The MetaCarta Alliance Program encourages leading software companies, systems integrators and consulting companies to work together to create innovative enterprise search, content/document management, and GIS Connectors for a wide scope of organizations. Recall recently Metacarta announced support for KML for MetaCarta Geographic Text Search (GTS) enabling companies and governments using their solutions to now search unstructured text documents for geographic locations and visualize these references on a map using Google Earth, ESRI ArcGIS Explorer or NASA World Wind interfaces.
The ultimate goal of these partnerships is to leverage these relationships to optimize MetaCarta's value as a fully integrated solution for our customers and to increase market share.
