WISDOM

Overview
Wargaming Interactive Scenario Digital Overlay Model (WISDOM) portal allows system administrators to configure users, groups of users, geographic database connections, and geographic scenarios. Geographical scenarios, in particular, consist in selecting and organizing the data contained in the geographic database into layers and sublayers depending on how they should be displayed on the map, as well as the configuration of the various spatial analysis and management tools (for example: the routing tool and the military unit management tool on the map).
The portal, once configured, allows you to explore, through an interactive map and analysis tools, the geographical information of the scenario to extrapolate useful information for decision making process.
This platform is flexible, which means that it can add new configuration parameters to continuously expand its functionality. Addition add-ons can be added: a 3D viewer and a vertical scrolling story map can be developed.
The portal is also accessible from the most common devices in use (PC, Tablet, Smartphone).
