"It is exciting to see FlyteComm build real-world solutions that demonstrate the power and ease of integration of XML Web Services in general, and Microsoft's MapPoint Web Service in particular," says Rik Temmink, MapPoint Group Business Development Manager. "Instead of spending their resources on acquiring map data and running hard-to-manage and expensive Geographic Information Systems, FlyteComm chose to focus its efforts on its core domain expertise and rely on Microsoft's hosted XML Web service for maps and other location content."
