Abstract
 Driving GIS productivity through workflow Track: Telecommunications & Location-Based Services Author(s): Alan Gould With 12m km (7.5m miles) of copper and 2m km (1.2m miles) of fibre network being converted and generated for loading into BT's GIS there are going to be some inaccuracies. Manually amending this data once loaded has proved necessary and needs to be simple and productive for an end user. Working with Telcordia Technologies, BT developed the Network Editing Tool (N.E.T) to aid users in quickly modifying and replacing telco objects without having to understand anything about spatial geometry. During initial evaluation of this suit of tools, it became apparent that there could be productivity gains made in planning as well as correcting the existing network elements. Expanding on the functionality of N.E.T, a Wizard Framework was developed that would allow for any defined process to be developed and rolled out to end users. A wizard guides users every step of the way through the process they have selected to carry out.
