The Year in Infrastructure 2007 - (Page 116) geOspatial distriButed enterprise OracleConnector at Work gemeente Bergen op Zoom The municipality of Bergen op zoom is a township of roughly 68,000 in the south of the Netherlands. One of the many tasks of the municipality is the creation and management of digital maps. The challenge of this project was to create an environment in which managed data from the surveyors, which was created in specialized software and stored in Oracle 9i Locator, would be available to the engineers in MicroStation V8 without conversion. By expanding the capabilities of the current ProjectWise installation with Bentley Geospatial Management and the ProjectWise Connector for Oracle, it became possible to use ProjectWise to access all data in the Oracle database. In this new environment, access, reusability of data, and maintenance have all been simplified. In addition, because Oracle Locator allows a thematic approach to accessing and maintaining data, the number of separate maps representing the municipality has been reduced from 700 to seven. Quality Improvement Infrastructural Design and Management Process gemeente leeuwarden The City of Leeuwarden, which is the capital of Friesland in the Netherlands, implemented a managed environment that would standardize and improve collaboration and communications among all teams in the city’s design and management work processes. Goals included reducing the number of mistakes made in the construction of infrastructure and, as a result, save money. ProjectWise functionality has been implemented to improve workflows of the city’s infrastructure design and management processes. Access control, version and workflow management, and integration with administrative project data is automatically enforced so users can do their work better. As a result, the whole infrastructure design drawing process has become faster and more reliable. By implementing ProjectWise, all workflows now have a common element: moving a drawing to the next workflow level automatically generates and archives a frozen intermediate version with a new version number. 116 ThE YEAR IN INFRASTRUCTURE 2007
