Islands of Information

Information Management Challenges

1. Your information is complex and diverse2. This information is mission critical 3. You are working with multiple organizations4. These organizations are spread out across the

globe5. The cost of inadequate interoperability is high

An integrated suite of collaboration servers that enable geospatial and AEC project teams, their information, and their tools to work together as one.

“ProjectWise helps all project participants collaborate, despite the problems presented by geographically dispersed work environments.”

Benefits of Geospatial Management

Empowering a spatially enabled managed environment …

• Integrates mapping and engineering

• Secures the record of constructed infrastructure

• Improves individual and group productivity

• Ensures all data and documents in an area are known to users

Case Studies

City of Tampere, FinlandTotal, France and The NetherlandsKentucky Transportation Cabinet

•Tampere region has 350,000 inhabitants, one of fastest growing areas in Finland

• Need for new infrastructure• New suburbs, light railway, roads, tunnels and

parking halls

• Challenge: Large organization• large volume of documents in “isolated”

archives• variety of user profiles and access privileges• no existing tools for project data management

City of Tampere

• Projects:• spatial locations• thematic representation• local coordinate systems

Managed Environment

Geospatial Index to E&P DocumentsTotal E&P Nederland B.V.

Total Geospatial Index to E&P Documents

Documents linked to a geographical location can be found and quickly reviewed

Previous geological study results will always be found, minimizing the risk of redundant work

Study information and thematic maps stored in dgn, raster, mxd, and other formats are indexed

Total Geospatial Index to E&P Documents

Paper maps and documents can also be found via a storage location reference in the technical archives

Search amongst tens of thousands of documents with an intuitive, easy interface

Archive Plan Conversion Kentucky Transportation Cabinet

Managed Environment

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet

• Management of a converted microfilm archive of more than 400,000 cards

• Project data in MicroStation, ESRI, TIFF, and PDF formats

• Users navigate via spatial project location boundaries or query

• Project focus is on Customer Service, making information available over the web

• Previously Manual search took hours/days and required travel to the appropriate KYTC office to access archives

• New approach enables customers to search, retrieve, and print in less than 10 minutes

Implementation

Simple and practical to implement:• Spatially aware files (DGN, DWG, GeoTiff, etc.)

automatically indexed• Rapid assignment of location to business and

other aspatial documents• Automated display in a common projection• Leverages existing metadata for spatial oriented

searches• Intuitive, requires minimal training
