This paper will present the results of an extensive development effort over a three-year period. InfoWorks is the result of this effort. This software is unique in many aspects and redefines the way modelers use data, manage models information, and track work progress. It features an audit trail, one common database, and full Esri graphics via MapObjects as the embedded graphics engine. It also quickly and seamlessly imports and exports to ArcView GIS as well as ASCII and various relational databases.

This paper will present the results of several case studies of its use in major cities around the United States and Europe. In most cases the case studies are reflective of InfoWorks integrating with legacy GIS within the municipal environments.
