VG4D Data Manager™

Cost-Effective Product Extension

Virtual Geomatics' VG4D Data Manager™ was derived from the high-volume, high-quality, Production Manager™. As a subset of the VG4D Production Manager, the Data Manager contains the same functionality of the Production Manager minus the advanced filtering capabilities.

The Data Manager allows GIS production shops to increase the number of manual editing and quality control seats without incurring the costs of additional full Production Manager licenses.

End User LiDAR Exploitation Solution

For geospatial service providers that utilize the VG4D Suite for the production of the LiDAR project deliverables, now the production database can be included with project components to add value for their customers. Data Manager is the software solution that enables customers to perform internal quality control tasks, access, view and exploit not only the data contained in the LAS files themselves but also the project production database.

In addition to making internal quality control tasks easier with the added ability to perform in-line editing functions in a single application, this streamlined tool enables engineers, planners, and other GIS users to be able to view and select specific classes and boundaries for re-projection and export to other formats for input into customer's industry specific applications.
