    VertiGIS launches AI-powered cloud solution for spatial asset management

    VertiGIS has introduced VertiGIS Neo, a secure, cloud-based platform designed to improve sector-specific workflows through artificial intelligence (AI).

    According to the company, VertiGIS Neo aims to accelerate business operations, streamline problem-solving and boost productivity by delivering modern web and mobile user experiences across its suite of solutions, including VertiGIS Studio, VertiGIS FM, VertiGIS Networks and VertiGIS ConnectMaster.

    The platform incorporates embedded AI to drive innovation for both end users and application development teams. VertiGIS Neo enhances workflow processes in three key areas:

    • End-user assistants: AI-powered assistants and a low-code/no-code interface help users complete tasks more efficiently in web and mobile applications.
    • Application builder productivity: AI co-pilots enable administrators to configure and customize solutions with less effort.
    • Process transformation: AI capabilities fundamentally change how work is performed, from field operations to back-office tasks.

    Flexible Cloud Deployments

    VertiGIS Neo is built on a cloud-first infrastructure that supports fully managed, private, or hybrid cloud environments, offering operational flexibility, scalability and enhanced security. The platform supports rapid deployment within CI/CD pipelines and provides predictable pricing models for customers.

    VertiGIS Neo offers three deployment options:

    • Cloud managed services: Complete cloud-based solution delivery, including data, infrastructure and applications.
    • Private cloud: Turnkey deployment into customer environments using prescribed hardware and containers.
    • Hybrid cloud: Multi-tenant and single-tenant SaaS applications accessing customer data within their environment.

    Industry Solutions

    VertiGIS Neo is designed to address business challenges across several sectors:

    • Utilities: Enables customers to model physical network infrastructure as digital twins and manage millions of service points, supporting the entire asset lifecycle from planning to decommissioning.
    • Telecommunications: Streamlines management of FTTx services and oversees both physical assets and logical circuits for communications providers.
    • Local Government: Helps build transparent, engaged and sustainable smart cities, improving engagement for both citizens and staff.
    • Enterprise: Integrates IoT and AI for real-time intelligence, remote sensing and asset tracking, fostering innovation in the private sector.

    VertiGIS Neo’s features include dynamic attribute analysis with natural language queries, voice-to-prompt interfaces for map queries and automatic asset inspection and damage assessment using image recognition. The platform also allows users to create intelligent workflows from text prompts and automates the digitization of paper forms into digital records.
