A single, geographic view of complex information and data sets across multiple roles, locations, and user interfaces can:

• Improve agency communication, collaboration, and decision-making to increase the success of essential initiatives.
• Align IT and business to embed document and records management best practices into day-to-day processes and workflows.
• Facilitate transparency, responsible governance, and compliance.
• Embed risk analytics and reporting best practices into everyday activities.
• Coordinate responses to crisis and emergency management situations.

A solution that consolidates information in a single geographic context requires:

• Comprehensible visual presentation of data.
• Access to real-time or near real-time information.
• Integration of multiple information sets from disparate sources.
• Information sharing inside and outside the agency, with restricted access controls.
• Interoperability with existing and legacy systems.
• Map-based, geospatial presentation when geographic context is important.

The ideal solution should provide cross-domain awareness and reporting of critical issues, activities, programs, and the status of personnel and assets—independent of agency type and location.

Microsoft Single View Platform (SVP) provides a consolidated, geo-spatial representation of an entire data and information landscape. You can deploy Microsoft SVP easily across multiple roles and user interfaces to support faster and better-informed decision-making with timely and effective coordination among all stakeholders.

You can build the Microsoft SVP architecture onto your existing legacy systems and devices. Because Microsoft SVP is available in commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions, you can decrease your integration and development effort while lowering your agency's total cost of ownership.

You can tailor your Microsoft SVP data implementation to support agency or program requirements. Microsoft SVP is an open, industry standards–based technology that provides a highly integrated foundation for a variety of data visualization solutions in the area of business intelligence, information sharing, work flow and business processes, project management and systems center. Depending on your agency's information and decision-making needs, you can implement Microsoft SVP-based solutions to help you more effectively:

• Share selected information with staff, partners and officials inside and outside the agency.
• Control access to specific information, including documents, with robust rights-management capabilities.
• Model strategic planning and performance-management life cycles.
• Create Web portals where citizens can interact with data managed, maintained, and secured by government agencies.
• Keep program managers and senior officials briefed with management dashboards.
• Comply with reporting requirements and increase agency transparency.
• Deploy quickly with minimal IT impact to realize immediate value with lower total cost of ownership.

With these powerful data-visualization capabilities, Microsoft Single View Platform helps agencies turn information into action.

If it's vital to government, it's mission critical to Microsoft.
