Getting to the 'AHA!' in Data Interoperability
Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management
Authors: Toni Jackson, Larry Phillips

San Antonio Water System has been working for a year to clean the data in three data sets for use in a new Asset Management software. The lengthy, time intensive process was making it very expensive. In an effort to automate some of the processes and reduce the cost of the data we started using the Data Interoperability extension and began to transform our data at a prodigious rate. Getting started with Data Interoperability didn't happen over night we worked for a month before finally achieving success.

This presentation will walk through the process of creating a simple workspace to manipulate, organize and manage geospatial data and explain the different ways SAWS has been able to use more complicated transformers. We will also show you how you can "do more with less"."Getting to the 'AHA!".by using Data Interoperability to reduce the cost of your data without hiring more staff.
