"The development of a GIS and GPS mapping system is saving the city of Sioux Falls a significant amount of time and money. Our tests have shown that our measurements are typically accurate within a foot, so our database is not only more current but also more spatially accurate than before. In addition to being a smarter business solution, mobile technology is just more fun to use. This program simply could not have been more of a success."
“My goal is to connect decision makers with accurate information. I see Trimble SiteVision as a way of providing information that any user can understand.”
"When we can build in that environment with the model, we can add the necessary parameters and get to that very granular level of detail that owners want to see in the estimate. By linking WinEst with Vico, we can pull out 4D and 5D quantities and bring that directly into the scheduling component."
“Knowing what you have and where it is in real time is invaluable, We can easily share accurate information across departments and throughout the city."
”The first personnel we trained were the Waterworks and Public Works crews."
“We selected Trimble in part because of the GNSS receivers’ high accuracy."
“At the same time, it’s important to us to have technology that is easy to learn and use and is reliable and durable in the field. The GeoXT handheld meets all of these requirements.”
“Our primary focus is on maintaining Auckland’s motorway and ensuring that its users are able to reach their destinations safely and quickly, Since our budget comes from tax dollars, we try to achieve our goals in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible.”
“Collecting thousands of graffiti data points by hand would have been nearly impossible, taking too many man hours and requiring too much money. We’re always looking for ways to stretch our budget and without Trimble the problem could have gotten out of control quickly.”
“The state informed us a few years ago that the aquifer is drying up, which motivated us to better safeguard the water supply.”
“With GIS, the Civil Affairs soldiers were able to rapidly collect, disseminate, and analyze information more efficiently than ever.”
“Introducing new technology such as GIS, especially mobile GIS, to the soldiers was challenging. However, once they saw the benefit of their collection efforts in a geospatial perspective, they realized it was an invaluable tool.”
“The uses for GIS technology within county government are endless, and we will continue to actively seek out new places to apply it within York County.”
“I strongly recommend that any coastal area prone to flooding, hurricanes and tropical storms take the same precautions we took, As soon as Hurricane Ivan struck, our GPS data was invaluable. I can’t imagine digging ourselves out from another hurricane as blindly as we did before we used GPS.”
“It was clear almost immediately that we would need to call in reinforcements to help with our effort, and that we would need to find a more sophisticated way of locating and recording our findings Assistance was requested from the Australian Capital Territory Emergency Services Agency, which deployed its newly formed Mapping and Planning Support (MAPS) team to help us.”
