Hello, my name is Peter Stangl from CIIT GmbH. I'll take you on a short demonstration of the Compact Business Navigator, which includes a route planning function. The Business Navigator was developed in collaboration with the Munich-based company PACT, and the technical implementation was handled entirely by us at CIIT GmbH. Okay, let's begin. What you see here on the screen is essentially a list of all customers. Customers are referred to as locations here. The sites are always the clients, which makes sense. When you click through here, requests are automatically sent to google.php, starting with the address and then displayed below. We save the GR coordinates as a batch job so that the route planner can easily use them to create its own routes. This allows the individual locations to be connected more quickly. Now, the users have also entered their own locations. You can see that here. Main, for example, now lives here on Lenkbach in Rolandstrasse. Um, and that's the starting point for my employees, where I drive to. This route planning is quite simple: we have various point networks in the calendar, representing appointments with clients. The use case, or business case, for the company was quite simple: they drive to these locations and see how the displays from individual brand manufacturers, like Samsung, are. Because you can then easily access route optimization, since my calendar, for example, isn't currently optimized. You can see this when it's displayed above. The user wants to optimize their calendar to minimize costs, fuel consumption, and time spent attending appointments. When you click on "Optimize route," you can select where to start. I simply start at home, and then the route? The endpoint is essentially the end, the last stop for my day. When I click on "Optimize," the Google bar is populated with my data, and it then looks at the endpoints. So, the starting point is always "Home," and here it is. What you also see is the total distance and the total time the employee has to spend in the car. And what you see here is that, so to speak, on Wednesday at the beginning, he would travel from Lenkbach to Melk, from Melk to Vienna, to Friedmanngasse, then to Haymerlegasse. That makes sense. And that brings us to the end of our demonstration. There are other cases, but this best shows how route planning worked for us. Thank you for your attention. Hello, my name is Michael Schaffer from CIIT Software. We develop custom software for our clients and are very often asked whether it's possible to integrate geo-coordinates, i.e., data that should be displayed on maps, into the applications. And that's actually a very simple undertaking. Here, for example, we have a simple prototype that displays the bike paths in Vienna. What do you need for that? Well, on the one hand, you obviously need geo-coordinates, which I obtained in this case from the website where the City of Vienna publishes the bike paths—that is, the geo-coordinates of the bike paths. And then I incorporated them into a simple prototype. As you can see, there's a prototype with two different versions. One is the version in Google Maps, meaning we see a standard Google Maps map here. Within the Google Maps map, I can add so-called pole lines or points of interest. I've simply added St. Stephen's Cathedral as a point of entry, and I can easily display it on my map. Otherwise, I have all the functions that Google Maps provides. I can also hide specific data. This, of course, depends on the application. As you can see, I can, for example, display the basic grid, the groups as an extended basic grid, and so on, and then I can zoom in as usual. I can also switch to satellite view, and then I can make selections, apply filters, and so on. So, all the functions you can imagine, based on this data, on this map material, could then be integrated into the application. One alternative is OpenStreetMap. It's a kind of company, a free, open, collaborative geodata project supported by various institutions and individuals, where data is processed into map data within an open community. The advantage over Google Maps, for example, is that it's free and open, meaning there are no licensing fees. With Google Maps, licensing fees are incurred, based on the number of requests made to this copy of Google Maps. So, as you can see, it's very easy to integrate geocoordinates into application components and thus realize added value in those applications.
