43. IT Systems SharePoint 2007 operating since 2009 Operating GIS server (esri) since 2009

44. Limitations of current system The current GIS Server based system has the following disadvantages: Only GIS personnel can access geospatial data GIS personnel are required to produce large quantities of maps and plans with a large amount of replication Departments are not aware of updates to geospatial data and may be using obsolete data Updated information is provided to GIS personnel on an irregular basis

45. Limitations of current system The current SharePoint system has the following disadvantages: Documents cannot be searched spatially or by individual asset Multiple documents for an individual asset or geographic location must be searched individually and often within different document libraries Spatial relationships between documents cannot be viewed Spatial information stored within documents cannot be analysed

46. Key objectives Staff to be able to view current spatial data To be able to search for documents stored in SharePoint spatially by asset or location Spatially enable existing data for analysis

47. Constraints The GIS team in both Melbourne and Chile is small and do not want to create additional work Majority of staff company wide do not have GIS background therefore need to create a system that is user friendly Solution Design: Selection of Visual Fusion to link SharePoint and GIS

48. 1st objective : staff viewing gis data GIS data stored within geodatabases can be viewed in mapping interface within SharePoint Staff can view the location of assets and when selecting assets view additional information stored within the geodatabase Unlike other internet mapping solutions, any data updated within the geodatabase is immediately reflected in the mapping interface

49. 1st objective – staff viewing gis data

50. 1st objective – staff viewing gis data

51. Key advantages Adding value to spatial data Providing company wide access to spatial information Allowing individual departments to be informed Improve decision making

52. 2ndobjective: spatially Search documents Document filtered search is limited by metadata assigned Large quantity of documents specific to individual assets or a particular geographic location Metadata field created to link documents to assets stored within GIS geodatabase

53. 2ndobjective: spatially Search documents

54. 2ndobjective: spatially Search documents

55. Key advantages Improving document search functionality Improving efficiency and workflows Providing user friendly interface for document searches

56. 3rd Objective: spatially enable data Health and Safety Incident Data stored within Excel Spreadsheets Data moved to SharePoint List and location coordinates added (Latitude/Longitude) Staff able to analyse incidents by location and categories to help prevent further incidents

57. 3rd Objective: spatially enable data

58. Key advantages Spatially enabling existing information Allow spatial and temporal analysis of data Improve decision making

59. Next steps Development projects to be included in system Reporting tools for Health and Safety Incident data Sustainability reporting
