Bringing Order to Chaos:How a Federated Approach to Information Management Can Increase Productivity and Reduce Cost Oscar Custers, Director Geospatial
Agenda • Open Session! • Introduction • Who is who? • Goal • Questions… • Federated Data Management • Future
Goal ...provide your organization with a competitive edge whenever there is a decision to be made by managing all your content; allowing you to create, manage, and publishthe content to achieve your business goals; and, most importantly, to bring control and consistency to business processes by individuals, across project teams and departments…
Questions for YOU… • What is your type of business? • What type of organization? • How many persons are with your organization? • What data types are in use? • How have the work processes been defined? • What is the location of the data? • What are your applications?
Business Process Analysis… ….starts with a whiteboard
Could you tell… • Where is the latest version of the new scheme design? • Show me all drawings for Phase 2 • Show me all drawings for a specific location • When did we receive the drawings from the lead design team? Where are they?
Could you tell… • Aren’t these CAD/GIS files supposed to have references? Where are they? • Can I lay my hands on the right version of a file for one of our assets? • How do I see previous versions? HOW much time does searching for the right information take??
Concerns • From our perspective, the issues are: • Cost versus Value (ROI) • Liability Risk • Managing (potential) change in work practices • Implementation, integration, maintenance, resources….
Return on Investment WHY DO AN ROI MODEL? • Justify the cost of purchasing software and services by identifying potential savings and efficiency gains. • It can help sell the idea to a higher level of management if required. • It can help sell the idea internally where there is resistance to change. • It can help justify increases of the project budget if necessary
Return on Investment • Return on Investment (ROI) is the financial appraisal of an investment. It tells a potential investor what returns can be expected as a result of the investment and evaluates these returns in generally accepted measures such as Net Present Value (NPV). • The Bentley ProjectWise ROI calculator has been designed to give a high level assessment of potential investment returns using broad benefit metrics in conjunction with a straightforward methodology..
Liability Risk • Particularly important with regulated industries • What are your liabilities?: • Audit Trail • Document Distribution • Find a supporting document for a legal or emergency case easily • Pentagon
Lifecycle Workflow Integration • Infrastructure assets are particularly difficult to manage • Because of long lifecycles (50 - 75 years). The assets are constantly being worked and re-worked with increasingly smaller budgets. • Disaster Management and Terrorism Prevention have put increased requirements on infrastructure asset management. • The most detailed information on the asset lives in the Design Documentation that was used to build it. • Design Documentation is still overwhelmingly “document” based - Maps, Models, Drawings, Specifications, Schedules - and often dispersed.
Four pillars • Federated Data Management • Geospatial Managed Environment • Interoperability • Scalable architecture

Geospatial Management An extension that adds spatial context to a managed environment … • Spatial indexing • Projection management • Query and locate • Spatial display
Geospatial Management • Spatial Navigation • Spatially Indexed Documents • Background Map
Interoperability • In general • Support of (open) standards and technology • PDF integration in 2D, 3D and animations • At several levels • Between various (technical) disciplines • Within the entire organisation • Integration with enterprise systems as SAP, ESRI ArcSDE, Oracle 9i and 10g • Between organizations • Exchange between open and closed formats (DGN XFM, DWG, MXD, GML) • Access to ‘Open’ Geospatial content by web-services (WMS, SOAP) and i.e. Google Earth (KML)
Scalable architecture • Solutions from ‘small to large’ • Windows client (desktop) • Technically advanced, high precision design and GIS solutions (2D and 3D) for use at desktop and tablet Pc's • Client/server (file based) • ´Geospatial´ data and workflow management at the server • Database centric (two tier) • Direct integration with data stores • Multi-tier • Integration with enterprise systems, data stores, plotservices, and web publishing applications
