A System for Connecting, Communication and Collaboration

3rd April 2012 3

A major goal of The Centre for GIS is to create and sustain a spirit of harmony in the community of GIS users in Qatar. This is initially achieved at The Centre's GIS training centre where the various individuals involved in GIS all receive their orientation and training.

The Centre has ensured compatibility throughout the GIS databases in Qatar. Compatibility itself tends to encourage and sustain cooperation because the data is readily transferred and easy to use.

TEAMSTelecommunication Access Management System

OVERVIEW OF THE PAST

• In house Developed:

• Application Development

• Primary object application usage Planning Work and External Plant Work

Started with a minimal investment in a solid network management system (TEAMS) and then scaled up to an enterprise system with a minimum constraints.

• Converting all the paper drawing

3rd April 2012 5

• New system build onESRI® ArcGIS™ 9.x platform, Network Engineer ™ supports the planning, management & operations of core networks with associated inside and outside plant equipment, all on an integrated GIS land base.

• Powerful work order management toolNetwork Engineer gives the planner authorized control over network access, editing, documentation, and

management with daily operations

• Sophisticated Editing ToolsNetwork Engineer offers complete Outside Plant management tools with a communications-specific interface for creating, placing, and editing network ducts, structures (joint box, Manholes), cables (Copper, Fiber) and equipment.

• Inside Plant Management Capabilities

PRESENT SCENARIO

The inside plant view allows users to view and manage:

In addition to providing powerful Outside Plant design and management capabilities, Network Engineer offers sophisticated tools for documenting and associating inventory with network structures

• Schematic GenerationThe integration of Network Engineer with ESRI ArcGIS Schematics™ enables users to • Generate on demand• Visualize • Manipulate logical representations from linear network data stored in a database.

Logical representations display network features without scaling constraints. A schematic representation of network data adds another visualization dimension to analysis and decision support.

SDE

SDE manages how the spatial information for your geographic data is stored in the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). SDE puts data into and retrieves data from the RDBMS.

ArcGIS

ArcGIS gets data from the Spatial Data Engine (SDE) and passes it into Network Engineer.

RDBMS (Database) Stores your data to be passed to SDE to be displayed in Network Engineer.

Network Engineer makes edits to the geodatabase and passes the data back to ArcGIS to be stored in the RDBMS.
