Integrating ArcGIS and Maximo WMS Provides Efficient Work Management Practices
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Ellen Hirayama, Skip Heise

Utilities are constantly searching for ways to improve efficiency. The Honolulu Board of Water Supply (HBWS) has done this in its work and asset management processes by integrating GIS with its Maximo Work Management System (WMS). ArcGIS provides the spatial component or location of HBWS water infrastructure assets and the work (work orders) to be performed against those assets. By integrating ArcGIS components into Maximo, users can see where assets and work orders are located on a service area map. This reduces work order duplication and enables work order assignment to crews based on proximity. Field crews use integrated mobile WMS and GIS technologies to support work performance in the field, enabling the planning, execution, and completion of work orders in the field using maps. This presentation will explore the technical architecture of an integrated ArcGIS and Maximo WMS, along with the business benefits of this seamless, integrated solution.
