Enterprise-scale Solutions
In today’s world, less than 10% of spatial information is in an enterprise level framework. Geospatial data is developed in Stove-Pipe environments and is difficult to share and manipulate. To complicate this situation. large data sizes have created challenges for enterprise geospatial infrastructures to manage data and facilitate data sharing within an organization. Additionally, current data formats are not compatible with enterprise data sharing requirements.
Demand for sharing geospatial data between organizations and the selected publics via the web is definitely increasing. This leaves traditional geospatial data sharing methods both ineffective and inefficient for data sharing.
Plus, the amounts of data are growing every day as we continue to measure our world with greater volume and accuracy – a million-fold increase of data over the last 30 years.
Ambercore’s 4D-iQ products provide knowledge solutions with powerful spatial modeling and simulation. Enterprise scale solutions include system and data integration capabilities with best-of-breed technologies comprised of software, hardware and services.
The Ambercore team develops and integrates mathematical, scientific and graphical algorithms required to model and simulate the real world in 3D spatial applications within these knowledge solutions.
Ambercore achieves value for clients by
- working to grow and collect 3D spatial data

Spatial Data Integration - Bringing Large Data Together
Many organizations have extensive 2D and 3D spatial data in a variety of formats and in a variety of distributed locations. Ambercore brings this data together and allows an organization to progress from simple data integration to fully transformed, on-demand business model support systems.
Does your organization have
- Multiple spatial types and data formats?
- Extremely large spatial data?
- Geographically distributed spatial data?
- Incomplete or unprocessed spatial data?
- Many geographically distributed users?
Ambercore's data sharing applications can help. Ambercore provides a solution allowing:
- multi-user access to remote large volume geographic and engineering data
- easy dissemination of 2D/3D analytical modeling results
- seamless integration of distributed geographical, geological and engineering data including: drill hole, seismic, geological, geophysical, surface, LiDAR, image, infrastructure and others
- support for common data formats including: ESRI™, MapInfo™, AutoCAD™, SegY, LAS, USGS, GeoTiff, and many others
- for operation with standard existing databases such as Oracle™ and Microsoft SQL Server™ Runs on standard Windows™ platform
Leveraging your company's investment in spatial data makes sense. Bringing your data together into a single application means:
- more effective use of departmental skills and resources
- improved enterprise-wide knowledge management and decision support capabilities
- reduced data redundancy as well as overall maintenance and support costs
Billions of points. Terabytes of data. Extremely large grids. Ambercore brings it all together into one application allowing you and your team to view, analyze, simulate and successfully realize your scientific and business goals.

Power
Ambercore software provides very efficient 3D visualization and processing of large high resolution point clouds and digital elevation models. For planning power line routes, Ambercore can provide customized modules which cost model according to client design specifications. For existing power lines, Ambercore can collaborate with clients to provide customized 3D tools specific to client requirements and which are not available in other systems. Alternate energy solutions such as Wind Power also benefit, by coupling the data from highly advanced LiDAR surveys, with Ambercore’s powerful software analysis tools.
Flood Mapping
Ambercore collaborates with the client to deliver modules and tools adapted to their requirements. Combined with high definition topographic data collected using LiDAR technology, Ambercore software algorithms use this high resolution digital elevation data to calculate the flow intensity over the terrain surface. This enables dynamic modeling of the flooding process and its force as well as static modeling of flood levels over time. Underground flooding through tunnels, shafts and pipes can also be modeled and simulated using Ambercore 3D topology networking capabilities.
Transportation
Transportation solutions require an integrated approach to data collection, analysis and data fusion, from the use of advanced LiDAR technology, to conventional survey techniques. Ambercore technology is particularly well suited to processing high resolution data sets efficiently. There are no restrictions in file size, and tiling of the data is avoided even in large regional engineering projects. Customized tools can be provided to cost model and simulate engineering and construction projects according to specified engineering and environmental parameters. All types of available data can be integrated and visualized in 3D to assist in the engineering design process.
