As the San Jose metropolitan area continues to expand, the utility recognized the need to improve data management for its physical network. Decision-makers wanted a geographic information system (GIS) that could identify and prioritize mains that needed to be replaced, as well as pinpoint water main leaks. San Jose Water required an open system that could deliver geospatial data in many different forms to employees and customers.
Today, the California utility is viewed as an industry leader in incorporating GIS data into its daily operations. San Jose Water uses the Intergraph® GeoMedia® family of products for multiple applications, including cartographic production and data management. It benefits
from Intergraph’s integration with an Oracle environment, using the open GIS platform to deliver data to employees and customers. This significantly boosts productivity, saves time, and helps reduce costs.
