With the integrated system in place, CMWD has access to geographically referenced historical information along with the capability to quantify and track maintenance activities thereby enabling management to better able to organize, plan, and allocate resources to support field operations. This presentation discusses the overall project vision and goals, implementation process, functionality, and lessons learned.
