August 05, 2009 -- James W. Sewall Company is pleased to announce the launch of Sewall Webinars, a series of interactive web-based seminars on geospatial solutions for government, utilities, and the natural resource industry.

The first scheduled webinar is GeoPower™ for Municipalities: Online Technology for Shared Services & Cost Savings. Presenter Gary Mullaney, Sewall Director of Systems Engineering, will introduce the GeoPower portal, a web-based system that provides municipal mapping, data maintenance and applications across government departments and into the private sector. Municipalities using GeoPower have reported that instant web access to parcel data, related information layers, and applications streamlines business processes, reduces overhead, and frees staff for the true mission of public service. Importantly, the public can obtain the same information on-line, improving their access to services.

The webinar, scheduled bimonthly during August, September, and October, includes a discussion of these features and benefits, a live demo, and an interactive question-answer period.

Webinars on the use of GeoPower and other applications for renewable energy and utilities will be added to the series in the coming months.
