Smallworld's spatial object manager for Oracle Spatial brings the recently launched Smallworld On Oracle Spatial tools up-to-date with support for the Oracle 8i spatial object model. Both features are an integral part of the Smallworld 3.1(0) core product. Smallworld 3 provides the framework for over 650 production systems around the world, it also is the foundation for Smallworld's recently launched applications products aimed at communications companies, utilities and public systems. This latest release of Smallworld 3 provides a robust supporting layer to these applications by extending the scalability of the product to manage more than 1,000 concurrent users - ensuring no practical limits to full enterprise-wide deployment of Smallworld and its applications. A continuous program of improvements to performance - both for the system administrator and end user ensures the right information is delivered to the right desktop at the right time.
