4DM recognizes that over the last few decades organizations have been building up their geospatial databases and that a viable mechanism in sharing this information, both internally and externally, is through the internet using an Internet Mapping Service (IMS).

4DM offers a quick and inexpensive solution for IMS called the 4DM WebMap. 4DM WebMap is a non-commercial JAVA web-mapping solution with no software costs bundled in the solution. This JAVA-based solution is highly functional, easy to use, scales to the enterprise GIS environment, and is ideal for organizations who may not need nor want a full commercial solution to fulfil their needs.

Our solution is:
 

Quick - a simple webmap can be served within hours.  ArcView can be optionally used to "publish" the data
 

Effective - users have the ability to perform all display control, feature identification, and simple queries
 

Extensible - the solution can scale to fit within an SDE environment, Oracle Spatial, or be threaded in a Lotus Notes environment
 

And has no software costs - for both the server and client side, there are no costs associated with the mapping applet component
 

As the mapping applet itself is free of charge, 4DM has instead developed an application “wrapper” surrounding the applet with a customizable user interface. Please visit the following sites for examples on how 4DM WebMap can be used in your organization.*
