  1. Bringing Order to Chaos:How a Federated Approach to Information Management Can Increase Productivity and Reduce Cost Oscar Custers, Director Geospatial

  2. Agenda • Open Session! • Introduction • Who is who? • Goal • Questions… • Federated Data Management • Future

  3. 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…

  4. 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?

  5. Business Process Analysis… ….starts with a whiteboard

  6. 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?

  7. 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??

  8. Business Drivers

  9. Concerns • From our perspective, the issues are: • Cost versus Value (ROI) • Liability Risk • Managing (potential) change in work practices • Implementation, integration, maintenance, resources….

  10. 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

  11. 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..

  12. 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

  13. Technical Driver

  14. 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.

  15. Four pillars • Federated Data Management • Geospatial Managed Environment • Interoperability • Scalable architecture

  16. Intelligent Design Models / Documents Bid & Build Documents As Built Documents Federated Data Management One holistic lifecycle for Integrated Data Management • Controll over workprocesses • Management and spatial indexing of (geo–) file formats • Storage of data in (enterprise) data stores Detailed Asset Models / Documents Database Database

  17. Federated Data Management Continuous thread through entire work process

  18. Intelligent Design Models / Documents Bid & Build Documents As Built Documents Federated Data Management Supporting the entire Lifecycle • Editing Data • Technically advanced, high precision ´engineering´ solution for all departments in 2D and 3D (create, modify, analyse, plot, mobile management) • Management of Data & Applications • Application & data management to support the cooperation between departments (manage, archive, exchange, integrate, datastores, workflow management) • Publishing/Use of Data • Share (internal) and distribute (extern) of information by map plotserver– and webtechnology Detailed Asset Models / Documents Database Database

  19. Geospatial Management An extension that adds spatial context to a managed environment … • Spatial indexing • Projection management • Query and locate • Spatial display

  20. Geospatial Management • Spatial Navigation • Spatially Indexed Documents • Background Map

  21. Spatially Indexed Documents

  22. 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)

  23. 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

  24. Four pillars • Federated Data Management • Geospatial Managed Environment • Interoperability • Scalable architecture

  25. Bentley Geospatial Server…. • Information Management System – specialized to handle technical content & workflows • Features: • Distribution of documents over LAN/WAN/Intranet/Internet • Security & User Access controls • Reference files, Title Block updates, Redline, Batch Plot • Search, Versioning,, Workflow, Audit Trail reports • Messaging agents • Indexing & searching of components within documents • Full Text Retrievals, Thumbnails & File Properties extractions

  26. File server File server File server Architecture

  27. Integration • Supported Associations: • MicroStation • MicroStation based applications • AutoCAD 2005, 2004, 2002, 2000 • ArcMap (ESRI) • Microsoft Office 2003, XP, 2000, 97 • DGN/XFM • Folders • Almost any type of document…

  28. Change Management • Audit Trails • Keep tracks of changes made to documents • Include user comments • Reports: single document, folder, all documents • Filter by users, actvity and dates

  29. Workflow Management • Easy to configure • Easy to pass to different state • Messaging capability on state changes • Use in research criteria

  30. Search • Documents content • Graphical preview • Text indexing • Content indexing • Outside documents • Folder attributes • Document attributes • Geospatial information

  31. Import Import and scanning tools, for batch creation and extraction of spatial locations

  32. Geospatial Management Geospatial Management … • Adds spatial metadata to documents • Query/view document location on background map • Automated projection management • Import tools to rapidly prepare legacy documents • ArcMAP Integration

  33. Geospatial Management A ProjectWise extension that adds spatial context to a managed environment … • Spatial indexing • Projection management • Query and locate • Spatial display

  34. Geospatial Server XM edition • Planned for XM • Spatial Features/Components • Points and lines for Spatial Locations • Attribute driven Geo Referencing • On the fly Geo Reference • Scan (batch geo referencing based on attribute value) • Updated geospatial views • Update on Coordinate systems integration

  35. Geo-Coding by Attributes • Use case: • Documents with no real spatial information (like text, pdf,…..) • Feature: • Leverage existing spatial meta data • Can be run either in dynamic mode or in batch mode

  36. Geo-Coding by Attributes

  37. Geo-Coding by Attributes
