Abstract
 How Understanding CADD to GIS Migration Can Assist Asset Management Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Melvic Degracia In an effort to leverage existing investments in our CADD systems, Harris County's Asset Management Team is attempting to utilize CADD functionality to tag asset features created in the CADD environment with asset information. This enables the tracking of asset costs from their inception in the CADD environment, through the asset's migration to the GIS core of the County Asset Management System (CAMS). Understanding the appropriate amount of effort to be expended on the CAD side of the equation versus the GIS side is essential. Preliminary tests indicate that even with data interoperability software in place and an easy CADD to GIS migration that a substantial amount of the heavy lifting happens on the GIS side and an essential key lies in developing GIS appropriate CADD standards. As a solution to this issue the development of a web based "real time, live" distribution system for our CADD standard is underway.
