Pipeline Software delivered expert content about how to integrate SAP with geospatial capabilities at 2009 ESRI Electric & Gas User Group conference
Pipeline Software's GEO Apps enable organizations to streamline key business processes by integrating their SAP systems with geospatial information systems
SANTA ANA, Calif., Movember 3, 2009 —
Joined by other ESRI technology experts in the electric and gas industry, Pipeline Software Inc. guided attendees through an expert presentation about how to integrate SAP with ESRI geospatial information systems (GIS) at this year’s ESRI Electric & Gas User Group (EGUG) Conference, which was held Oct. 11-14 in Atlanta. The Pipeline Software GIS team delivered an overview of the challenges and complexities involved with integrating these two systems from an enterprise asset management (EAM) perspective.
"Some of the biggest business challenges electric and gas utilities face today is how to gain GIS-driven results," said Justin Tyler,
vice president, Pipeline Software. "Through our experience of working with utilities around the world, we have honed how to integrate
SAP with GIS data using a very straight forward approach that ensures asset data integrity and improves end-user productivity.
By giving real-world examples of integration scenarios, we showed attendees how to leverage their SAP and GIS investments to
optimize existing business processes and lower asset data maintenance costs."
Pipeline Software offers geospatial integration solutions for SAP. The company's
GEO Apps suite of software solutions
enables organizations to streamline key business processes by integrating their SAP systems with GIS. The
GEO Asset Data Management (GEO ADM)
solution lets users keep SAP and ESRI GIS asset databases synchronized easily and efficiently,
while the GEO Work Management (GEO WM)
product permits ESRI GIS map users to interact with SAP EAM work management
transactions and asset data directly from the map. Using Pipeline Software's
GEO Projects, engineering, capital and
maintenance project teams can lay out their projects on the GIS map and connect map features with SAP project and WBS elements.
Tyler also focused on key integration areas useful to an EAM integration deployment:
"With seamless integration, users can gain a holistic geospatial view of all capital,
engineering and maintenance projects. This creates visibility into project budgets,
resources, schedules and work activities on maps."
