Westpower, a Greymouth-based electricity
distribution commerce, uses a GIS solution to help get by its raw
infrastructure, such in the same way as power poles and outline. The challenge
was to integrate data from ‘a multitude of disparate sources’ with the aim of
were not integrated with data arrival in the sphere of from ground crews, held
in the sphere of manually-recorded interpretation and exert yourself
guidelines, in the sphere of various formats with no at all standardisation.
The other source of data was its ArcGIS
spatial folder.
Westpower selected Certus in the sphere of
a competitive offer process to provide Maximo Spatial Asset Management software
and pro services.
“We arrange
had an on-going connection with Westpower,” says John Tait, senior consultant
by the side of Certus. “We had a superior notion of their commerce food. In the
sphere of piece of evidence we had been portion them with an earlier version of
Maximo. But as soon as IBM released Maximo Spatial, we had a added mature
solution to exert yourself with, single with the aim of made the spatial
integration process much added handy.”
The project called in place of Certus and Westpower
to correct data in place of accuracy, standardise the characteristics, add
metadata to help users evaluate which data sets can be located successfully
combined, and conclusively code the asset data to match the location to the
asset.
The labour- and time-intensive surgery was
a earliest in the sphere of inexperienced Zealand. Rebuff other organisation
had attempted to blend these two software solutions at this point.
The booming implementation bowed into an
on-going project, with Westpower and Certus sharing their IP with Transpower
and other utilities.
“We learned a
assortment on this project,” Tait says. “And we willpower be located
transferring this comprehension to other clients. The Maximo Spatial Asset
Management solution has proven with the aim of the tools are near to streamline
commerce processes. And as soon as combined with well-kept data and clients
with imagination, the tools can be located a real game changer in place of
clients.”
Certus was recognised in place of this
project by the side of the Sixth IBM commerce Partner Awards event in the
sphere of Auckland on October 18.
