Why it pays to integrate GIS and CAD data together to drive better business outcome to your organisation

CAD and Geospatial data holds a lot of information that are often not used effectively

Provision of a web-based Enterprise GIS that included a field module for the inspection of field assets. This project involved developing a web-based Enterprise GIS as well as mobile GIS systems support council-wide asset collection and maintenance processes. Tasks included gathering of business requirements, architecture and technical documentations, including development of the Enterprise GIS.

EC staff involved identified immediate areas of improvements and developed a strategy to move towards a manageable IT/GIS environment based upon the following principles:

Adoption of open-standards spatial storage technology that mitigates risks of vendor dependency.
Focus on the Internet and browser-based technologies to share corporate GIS and other data, thus allowing multiple methods of access.
Utilise proven, robust and modular infrastructure such as Pocket PC and telecommunication mobile networks to deliver information between the office and remote users
Encourage the use of modules of systems and applications that can be re-used rather than being only useable within one system or application
Systems supports multiple methods of access
