Centigon Solutions leverages the powerful Google Maps Application Programming Interface (API) for Flash to create integration with Xcelsius APIs, allowing dashboard designers to fulfill a wide range of mapping requirements for business intelligence dashboards. These features include alerting, basic geographic analytics, geo-coding and over 10 interactive marker styles to choose from.

“We chose Google Maps API Premier to create the next-generation mapping solution for use with Xcelsius due to its robust visualization capabilities and ease of use,” said Ryan Goodman, founder of Centigon Solutions Inc. “GMaps Plugin has raised the bar to meet customer demands for geographic analysis within business intelligence dashboards.”

Following a successful public beta in Q4 2008 with over 250 users, Centigon Solutions carefully evaluated enhancement requests to ensure that the market demands could be met with out-of-the-box functionality. The result is an add-on component that employs the familiar user experience of Google Maps, with interactive data visualization features that empower business users to assimilate regional data and make better-informed business decisions.


“Viewing business intelligence data on a map makes it easier to understand, saving users time and enterprises money,” said Daniel Chu, product manager of Google Maps API Premier. “Centigon Solutions’ GMaps Plugin is an excellent example of how Google Maps API Premier can help business users leverage and interpret their internal data to make the right business decisions.”
