2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 GIS and Beyond: Looking to SAP Through the Geo-Window Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Bart Reynaert, Rene Horemans, Patrick Vercruyssen As a Belgian water utility, Pidpa uses a complete ArcGIS software-based solution to maintain a large amount of water distribution network data. Next to the powerfull edit environment, an ArcIMS software-based viewer called "GeoLink" allows every employee to easily access this geographical data in a browser. GeoLink also contains a number of interfaces to important company-wide information systems like SAP, CIS, SCADA ,and an intranet document archive, making GIS a portal to all kinds of location linked corporate data. In a utility company the majority of data has a location attribute, so with a locational visualisation having detailed data only a mouse-click away has a lot of benefits. We would like to share the experience of interfacing best-of-breed software like ArcGIS and SAP with the GIS user community in order to improve the value of this integration for the business processes in the utility world.
