This presentation will discuss Design Power's GIS implementation on behalf of the Navy Public Works Center (Yokosuka, Japan) and the Naval Communication and Telephone Station, Far East. It will cover the initial conversion of legacy hard-copy distribution and schematic documents into intelligent electronic formats from which users can dynamically extract and display cable routing information. The enterprise nature of PWC Yokosuka's total GIS implementation permits telecommunication users to concentrate on maintaining their own data and yet concurrently display data maintained by other facilities management departments (utilities, planning, environmental, etc.).
