This paper proposes and discusses a GIS that integrates geographic resources with business intelligence data from SAP, TIS and other systems. Location is a unifying theme in business. Location can be an address, a service boundary, a sales territory, or a delivery route. All these things can be visualized and interactively managed and analyzed in a GIS. Spatial relationships, patterns and trends reveal invaluable business intelligence and bring easy-to-understand visualization to business applications. Use GIS to answer basic or sophisticated question on how to improve businesses workflow, management, and ROI (Return on Invest). To be able to integrate GIS system with other business systems and processes, it is necessary that spatial and non-spatial data are "no different". In presentation I will present GIS application which demonstrates concept of integrating data and systems with spatial and non spatial data. The application integrates data from different systems: traditional GIS data, TIS and SAP. Data integration enabling easier and more effective control of telecommunication networks, supervising and effect solutions of failures on element telecommunications systems, access networks and networks features, better controlling systems, witch we afford to end users. Goal is faster and more quality solutions of user's request. Present solutions in this paper based on OpenGIS standards and interfaces to geospatial information providers, Oracle Database and Application Server.
