| Project Type: |
GIS Business Strategy |
| Year: |
1999 |
| Description: |
Corporate GIS Consultants were selected to develop a Geographic Information Management Strategy for the ACT Department of Urban Services. Urban Services had a large number of GIS groups using a range of Intergraph, ESRI and Mapinfo systems to undertake a number of tasks across all the business groups. This included cadastral mapping, environmental management, parks management, roads and stormwater management and land planning and management.
Following considerable user workshops and executive discussions to determine the technical and business requirements of a GIM Strategy, a number of options were determined which led to the development of a Strategy to change the focus from the collection and management of data to the use of data to meet business needs. This also resulted in recommendations to market test and possibly outsource the core data management and collection function. The Strategy was accepted by the Steering Committee and Executive and is currently being implemented. |

| Description: |
Development of a Cost/Benefit study for the capture of Land and Geographic Data Infrastructure in Australia for ANZLIC. This project involved research and investigation with both data suppliers and data users in Australia to determine the size and potential of the Australian market. This project found that there was a benefit to cost ratio of 4:1 for data usage and that for the 5 year period of 1989-94, these benefits were in the order of $4.5 billion. Benefits took the form of improved business and strategic planning, increased productivity, the development of new business opportunities, improved scheduling and co-ordination of investment projects, and improvements in the utilisation, pricing maintenance and disposal of fixed assets. These benefits were distributed across a broad spectrum of economic activities ranging from electricity, gas and water utilities to the development of projects involving agriculture, mining and environmental management. This project was undertaken on contract to Price Waterhouse Urwick. |

DELP were reviewing their hardware and software systems which supported the Digital Cadastral Data Base (DCDB). The consultancy involved determining the requirements of the data providers to the DCDB, the users of the DCDB and clients of DELP using the DCDB to determine a broad functional specification. This consultancy also considered such areas as the creation of a continuous DCDB, a legal DCDB leading towards an online public enquiry system. The role of the ACT. Integrated Land Information System (ACTILIS) was also discussed. A broad set of strategic recommendations ensued, thus providing DELP with a direction from which to purchase hardware and software. This project was undertaken on contract to Price Waterhouse Urwick. |

Strategy and Project Management for Technical Computing Upgrade |
| State: |

| Industry: |
Government |
| Project Type: |
Needs Analysis Review |
| Year: |
|
| Description: |
Corporate GIS Consultants were retained by the Australian Construction Services (ACS), a construction agency for the Federal Department of Administrative Services to undertake a user requirement study leading to a needs analysis to develop the functional specification of the technical computing requirements for each of the disciplines of ACS to be used as the basis for an Invitation to Register Interest (ITRI) and subsequent Request for Tender (RFT).
The disciplines included were Architecture, Facilities Management, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Structural Engineering and Quantity Surveying. The user requirements, needs analysis and functional specification segment of the project was timetabled for a six week duration, and was completed by the due date.
The process involved interviewing over 95 staff, collecting and analysing responses, preparing "first-pass" functional statements and co-ordinating the development of those statements for all participating ACS technical staff. This included developing the overall requirements of a general graphics environment to interface into the real world project situations of ACS including Asset Management, RDBMS, network management and office computing.
The ITRI was subsequently delayed and later released in February 1989. This was followed by vendor responses and system evaluations leading to a further development of the functional specification for each discipline. It was on this basis that the specification was converted into a RFT system specification and subsequently released to the short listed tenderers in August 1989.
The evaluation of the responses by rigorous benchmarking and weighted scoring techniques led to the subsequent recommendation to enter into a contract with IBM. The contract called for over 250 networked workstations to be installed over a three year period. IBM RS6000 workstations running a suite of application software centred around the Architectural and Engineering Series (AES) suite were selected.
This tendering procedure was carried out in parallel with the Information Technology (IT) strategy being developed to upgrade the commercial systems over a five year period. Consideration of the integration capability and/or overlap between the technical computing strategy and the IT strategy in the areas of networking, RDBMS, technical office and asset management was part of the overall considerations. |
