Implementation Scenario
• Organization – Public Works Dept. of a small city government
• Number of users 2-3 • Business needs – Collect field information such as bus stops, storm drains, etc.
• Accuracy requirements – Sub foot if possible
• Device type – Hand held
Implementation Scenario
• Organization – Large city (among top 10 of US)
• Business needs – Creating, viewing, and updating SAP service notifications and work orders in real time by field staff
• Number of mobile workers – Dozens now and hundreds down the road
Implementation Scenario
• Organization – GIS/IT consulting firm
• Business needs – Resolve the pains of conventional utility mapping and inventorying – Build a mobile mapping system that enables GPS crews to map utility systems and structure attributes on the fly – Build topology and connectivity in the field – Allow disconnected field editing of geodatabase – Take advantage of Tablet PC’s Ink technology
