Geospatial Information: Defined

• It’s CAD and GIS data

• Technologies that historically lived in separate worlds

• Coming together to deliver:– Precision– Efficiency – Competitive advantage

Increasing demand to deliver geospatial data for multiple uses

Increased pressure for operational efficiency

Pressure to maintain accuracy and precision in an ever-changing environment

Today’s Challenges

Geospatial Information: A “New Way…”

• To think about design and geographic information that you already have

• To improve decision-making through location-based intelligence

• To grow business by selling additional services to customers

• To leverage technology that exists in your environment

CAD and GIS IntegrationRequires an Open, Integrated Geospatial Data

Model

• Eliminate redundancy

• Reduce $$$

• Maintain precision

• Integrated• GeoSpatial

• CAD • GIS

Challenge:

Remain competitive Manage mergers Reduce operating costs

“Autodesk has an open architecture that makes it easier to interface with other systems. Some other GIS solutions use proprietary data structures that are harder to integrate and more difficult to maintain.”

CostSolution:

Open system Integrates with Oracle

Spatial Database Stable & scalable Lower cost of operation

Results:

$5m per year saved after conversion

Reduced IT staff Fast data for 1,500

employees

City of Garden Grove

Improving service to citizens through decentralized GIS

Challenge:

Expensive data Expensive staff Errors in data

“Creating a mailing list of residents in a specific area used to take 20 minutes, but now it takes a minute. And our map counter clerks are instantly accessing the information they need to serve residents. We estimate that Autodesk MapGuide saves about $20,000 a year on just those two processes.”
