Corporate GIS

The effective maintenance and quality control of your spatial datasets is critical to ensure that the investment placed within the capture and preservation of spatial data provides value back to the business time and time again.

DataNet is a corporate spatial data management system built on Northgate's StruMap GIS.

DataNet utilises industry leading spatial databases and technology to provide check-in, check-out, quality assurance, data capture, and maintenance tools designed to ensure your spatial data provides the information and accuracy your business requires every time.

StruMap DataNet includes the following functionality as standard:

• Highly flexible data models and configuration options support multiple organisations (Gas, Electricity, Water, local government)
• Interface with Open GIS compliant spatial databases
• XML-driven database scheme
• Secure object level data locking for editing
• Data caching to reduce database load
• Custom data capture forms and rules-based pre-population

StruMap DataNet provides the following benefits to your business:

• Reduce data maintenance effort by using a single common data source, such as Oracle Spatial
• Reduced editing time through StruMap's advanced digitising and capture tools designed for "minimum click" capture
• True inoperability for spatial data

• Rigid connectivity rules ensure network data integrity is maintained at all times
• Direct data access and cached data store options as standard enable reduced load times and efficient data distribution
• Legacy file format support allows your business to maintain older systems without the need to upgrade disparate applications at the same time.
