Appleton, WI, August 26, 2008 – Sustainable Map Solutions (SMS) (link: www.smsgis.com), a purveyor of municipal software, today announced a partnership with mPower Innovations (link:www.mPowerInnovations.com), a GIS software application developer. The partnership allows SMS to distribute mPower Integrator, an online mapping utility, with SMS' online permitting package TOTAL-Permit. The first phase of the mPower Integrator solution is offered to municipalities, counties, and states in an effort to provide cost effective online GIS services.

Increased Productivity, Decreased Workloads. Plymouth County maintains ownership of its GIS data while sharing it with cities, citizens and agencies. Plymouth County wanted to take ownership of their data and build a web GIS that all departments and the public could easily utilize. mPower Integrator, along with Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise, was the next logical step to effectively distribute maps and GIS data throughout the county’s agencies. “Integrator allows us to create new users, department sites, and even make our own customizations. This flexibility helps Plymouth County use GIS efficiently both now and in the future,” Olsen stated.
