In 1997 five waterboards collaborated to make a product for water information management. In 1998 the result was INTWIS, an Integrated Waterboard Information System. INTWIS is based on ArcGIS 8 with an Oracle database. It consists of a basic module for INTWIS management and, by now, 13 water management supporting modules. Each of these modules has specific functionality and can be integrated with (inter)national coordinating information systems. A characteristic of these modules is that they are built following the DSDM-concept. DSDM stands for Dynamic Systems Development Method. It's a framework for system engineering and consists of 9 basic principles. Besides these principles there are supporting techniques like timeboxing, prototyping and MOSCOW-rules. With this method the supported business case is central. Cooperation with the customer is central; in fact, the module is built with a constant presence of a customer in the cleanroom.
