Description

• 3 different systems (Netbas, Argus and Origo)

• 3 separate databases with different datamodels

• Limited capabilities

• Simple but troublesome integrations

• Many manual workproceses

• Much paper

Finding a partner

• Need for a framework supporting diverseneeds in a changing environment

• Need for a common flexible IT infrastructurethat integrates well with various specializedprogram components in the utility sector

• Need for outsourcing development andmaintenance of applications

MapGuide

Everything in the database

• Base map layers

• Components

• Topology

• Geometry

• Project plans and economic calculations

• Maintenance status

• Documentation

• Etc.

Before

• Paper documents quickly became outdatedand were difficult to maintain

• Personal ways of storing information madecollaboration difficult

• Information delivery was slow

• One piece of information one place at a time

• Analysis was difficult and time consuming

• Integrations between systems with differentdata models were error prone

• Many islands of information

After

• One single unified database

• One common datamodel

• No need for complex integrations

• Easy analysis and updating

• Simultaneous access to information fromdifferent persons and systems

• Lower costs

• Better collaboration

• Access to information everywhere

Practical technological gains…

Case: Fleet Control

• Every vehicle is supplied with a laptop PC

• The PC is connected to the Intranet through aGPRS-based WAN (GSM)

• Field workers can access information on sitevia Citrix and the Intranet

• Supplying the PC with a GPS antenna theposition of the vehicle is continuously updatedinto the database

• The position of every vehicle is present in theGIS as well as the current workstate

Case: Fleet Control

Case: Project planning

• Former personal routines and paper basedstorage have been replaced with on lineplanning

• Several alternatives can be analyzedelectrically and economically

• When a project alternative is chosen, thesystem automatically generates all necessaryinformation for the contractor

Case: Project planning

• Implemented plans are posted on the mapand electrical network without the need forreentry of data

• Project alternatives do not interfere with thereliability of maps

• Land survey measurement updates thegeographical position of components whendone

Case: Project planning

Case: Data on-line on-site

• Former map printouts and componentcatalogues have been replaced with on-linedata

• Geography is the key to information for themobile workforce

• Information from other sources (eg. billinginformation) are available through the GISdatabase without the need for access to theERP or SCADA systems

Case: Data on-line on-site

• Through fine grained access controlmeasures subcontractors can directly accessand work with projects in NetBas

Case: Data on-line on-site

Challenges

• Many different component types

• Creating complex functionality for technicians

• Placing base maps in database

• Editing base maps

• Creating relationship between maps andcomponents

• Delivering information through the internet

Why SDO?

• Reliable and proven technology

• Standardized storage of geographical dataaccessible from a wide selection ofapplications

• Cross platform availability

• Easy management and backup

• Advanced scripting capabilities

• Performance

• Analysis
