Business applications
Business decisions can be achieved by adding the location
factor to queries. You can combine relevant spatial data with business
data in the same RDBMS to better manage your data within DB2. Spatial
data can aid you in answering basic business issues, such as:
- Where to build new offices based on costs and statistics, but
also the proximity of competitors and potential clientele?
- Which customers live inside and outside sales areas?
- Whether the center of a sales area is too far away from most
of the customers in the area?
- What extent your sales areas overlap with those of competitors?
- Which customers own homes valued at over $400,000 that are within
one mile of an earthquake fault?
- Combine spatial data with business data in the same RDBMS to
better manage your data within DB2
