Share and Share Alike

Modern technology allows the centralisation and sharing of design and infrastructure data, bringing improved decision-making and reduced costs through Smarter Infrastructure.
 
There are many small steps that can be made to increase productivity and achieve large savings within a Utility organisation by allowing the integration and sharing of engineering CAD and BIM with GIS.
 
Join us for a free Web Seminar to learn how organisations are joining up design and operational engineering with corporate geospatial datastores and achieving impressive Returns on Investment as a result.

This seminar will demonstrate, through practical examples, some of the key features and benefits of converging engineering design and geospatial data, including:
  • Live on-demand access to your geospatial data store inside of AutoCAD: By utilising Open Source FDO technology, we will demonstrate how by using simple tools AutoCAD users can directly view geospatial data of virtually all of the insustry standard formats, including, ESRI ArcSDE, relational databases (Oracle, SQL server), files and web based services. This results in reduced data duplication, increasing efficiencies and reducing costly errors due to double entry and use of out-of-date designs and maps.
  • Full geospatial access and processing capabilities in an AutoCAD environment: Bridging the gap between CAD and GIS, AutoCAD Map 3D makes it possible for engineering and GIS professionals to work  with the same data and enables design processes to integrate geospatial functions in a single environment for more efficient workflows. The results are better designs, increased prodcutivity, and better data quality.
  • Enforce company standards, ease data integration and maintain quality by incorporating standard tools, symbol libraries, and data: The AutoCAD Map 3D industry Toolkits are a downloadable set of tools to help AutoCAD Map 3D users working within the electric, water and wastewater utility industries gain efficiencies during data creation and consolidation phases of a project.

Enabling CAD/GIS convergence within your organisation goes further than just assisting in meeting legal and customer obligations, and can provide tangible benefit without radical change to IT policy or working practice.
