Google Earth Industries: Homeland Security

Risk assessment is not an option, it's a must. Yet fewer challenges are greater than sorting through the mountains of disparate government and commercial sources for the right information to complete the assessment task. Google Earth solutions cut through the clutter of geospatial databases, allowing analysts and operatives to get the job done effectively and in record time.

Google Earth lets you distribute access to more people, providing fast and fluid, interactive earth views streamed over secure networks or the Internet. By fusing imagery, terrain and GIS data, Google Earth lets the user focus on the task at hand, not their software system. Superior ease of use allows virtually anyone to view, grab, pan and zoom through earth imagery and GIS data in minutes. Plus a rich suite of tools lets users visually inspect and analyse geographic features.

As the only company to aggregate a national database of contiguous US imagery, geographic features, roads and business listings, Google Earth not only provides enterprise software but also complete solutions with integrated data.
