Taking Tablet PCs and the Enterprise Geodatabase to the Field
Track: Electric and Gas
Author(s): Larry Wilke

Learn how Burbank Water and Power has drastically expanded its GIS implementation by supporting field operations with mobile GIS on Tablet PCs updated on a wireless LAN. Listen to a case study and view a live demonstration of Burbank's deployment of the geodatabase in the field. Gain great insight on how Burbank's electric utility employs Tadpole-Cartesia's GO! Sync product. GO! Sync synchronization software, built around Esri ArcObjects, is used to securely and reliably synchronize the incremental changes tracked in ArcGIS with the personal geodatabases used in the field. Understand Burbank's utilization of Esri products from ArcSDE and ArcInfo to ArcReader. See what advantages the Tablet PC can offer to the field. Be intrigued by the redlining and gesturing inherent to the Windows XP Tablet PC operating system. Obtain the necessary information and links to Esri's Tablet PC Tools to help you obtain accurate, paperless, geospatial information in the field.
