Dr. Peter Davies is from Australia and he participated in a BI Foundations Seminar presentation on software utilities for assessing, monitoring and managing PRRS within a region. He focused on geographic systems and mapping. He sees real application for mapping the virus with some current software options that are web based. This makes it a lot easier to use than having to install complex software on a computer.
As I heard a lot during this seminar, Davies says that producers will need to adjust to the idea of sharing information in order to make these new technologies meaningful.
