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
