2. GRM – Geo Based Resource Management System makes
it easy and simple to have all infrastructure elements on
a map, base decisions on real data and update your
infrastructure in real time.
Nowadays, a GRM system becomes a tool of utmost
importance in the activity of a company who’s got
infrastructure to manage.
DEFINITION
2/28/2015GEO BASED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – MWC 2015 2
3. WHY USE GRM?
Companies with infrastructure to manage are familiar with a
series of problems.
Issues with paper based infrastructure documentation
Extremely limited possibilities when it comes to using paper based data
Infrastructure information is spread in different offices
Single point of knowledge about company infrastructure is non-existent
2/28/2015GEO BASED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – MWC 2015 3
4. ISSUES
Issues with data collection
There is no standardized strategy for collecting and storing data
GIS data is collected and locked in proprietary software and can’t be
extracted
It is impossible to track who created or edited certain data
Issues with data analysis
It is impossible to get the big picture of all infrastructure elements
There is no way for infrastructure operators to make geospatial analysis
There is no way marketing department can benefit from diagrams and
reports based on geographical information
2/28/2015GEO BASED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – MWC 2015 4
5. ISSUES
Issues with general purpose maps (ex: Google Maps and Earth)
There is a big gap in accuracy of the information presented on the map
Often updates of the generic map can jeopardize already existing data
License terms forbid deriving data from public imagery services and using
Google Maps for corporate purposes
Issues with generic GIS Software (ex: Arcgis, MapInfo)
Too complex to be operated internally, by non-GIS people
Over-priced and over-qualified software, which original purpose wasn’t
corporate infrastructure management but state land survey
2/28/2015GEO BASED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – MWC 2015 5
6. HOW TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES?
The solution would be to use a dedicated system, designed to
address the problems infrastructure operators are faced with.
A solution which can be customized and adapted to suit each
company particularly.
A solution which would rise an operator to a new level in
managing infrastructure related data, and mainly, to GIS maturity.
Such solution would include features like:

7. SOLUTION FEATURES
Complete ownership over the data, complete traceability and elimination of vendor lock-in
Centralized point of data management for infrastructure related GIS data
Easy digitization and collaborative data collection tools
Big data visualization in graphical way for executives
Assistance for management in making strategic decisions (like network expansions)
SOA integration with existing systems
Simple data extraction in any GIS format

8. WHAT IS GIS MATURITY?
A GIS maturity level is the stage at which an
infrastructure operator can find themselves in
implementing and using a GIS System
Let’s further look at 3 development levels in detail
2/28/2015GEO BASED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – MWC 2015 8
9. GIS MATURITY – LEVEL 1 - VISUALIZATION
At the first stage, an operator can simply visualize
GIS data, usually generated by suppliers in web form,
CAD files or paper based maps/schemas.
They don’t know and don’t care about coordinate
systems, data models, normalization, versioned
geodatabases, file formats, or any of the other
issues.

10. At a second maturity stage, operators use more
complex GIS data and make best use of it.
Usually this data is bought from cadastral/survey
institution or mapping company.
Operators perform mathematical or statistical analysis
that answers specific research or business questions
that are too unique to be scripted in advance.
GIS MATURITY – LEVEL 2 - ANALYSIS
2/28/2015GEO BASED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – MWC 2015 10
11. At this stage, the company is creating in-house data
and/or enrich geo data that they already have.
The implementing company becomes self-served GIS
data providers for every GIS enabled software used
internally.
EX: Network operations, radio planning,
troubleshooting, network development, geo-enabled
marketing, geo-services, telemetry, SCADA.
GIS MATURITY – LEVEL 3 – CREATING AND MAINTAINING DATA

12. HOW TO REACH GIS MATURITY?
Reaching the third maturity level can be hard and tedious when done with improper software and
partners. Or, it can be simplified and bring more value when implemented by experts.
Our GRMS implementation team can assist your company to reach the highest GIS maturity level.
Besides, we will coach you in traversing successfully following phases:
2/28/2015GEO BASED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – MWC 2015 12
13. GIS MATURITY STEP-BY-STEP
Analysis of your company specifics
comprising data models
determining potential infrastructure related data sources and visualization model
researching interoperability integration needs
GRM adaptation and development if needed
Installing and configuring GRM Server
Start data digitization process from paper based documents or by importing data in the system
can be done by non-GIS personnel
Interoperability integration with other relevant systems
Setup data exports for reuse by various systems and departments
Set up dashboards for executives
