2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 More Than an Upgrade: The Austin Water Utility Experience Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Leeanne Pacatte, Brian Hoefer, Rhett Harman The City of Austin, Texas owns and operates its water and wastewater utilities and maintains 3,000 miles of water pipe and 2,300 miles of wastewater pipe. In 2003, the Austin Water Utility upgraded its GIS from ARC/INFO 7.x to ArcGIS 8.x. The year-long effort included business process analysis, migration to Oracle platform and an ArcSDE/enterprise geodatabase (plus database redesign), customized data entry tools, interfaces to hydraulic modeling applications, integration with Hansen Maintenance Management System (MMS), and ArcIMS Web applications. This paper describes the project from its inception--business drivers, management buy in and goals--to the final hurrah--the outcomes and benefits realized.
