Arron Lee, Regional Account Manager
It is very common for jurisdictions to struggle with the task of knowing where their GIS assets are located. Why? The information could be in the local Superintendent’s head, or even hand-written on a napkin map. That is great, but not efficient. With budgets as tight as ever, we are all being held more accountable. Explanations and reports are helpful, but being able to spatially locate your critical infrastructure on a map with data is essential.
Taking the guesswork out of locating these assets is as critical today as it has ever been. Quickly identifying the feature, its attributes, history, and location can save time and money. For many local governments, the technology to start a proper inventory and management workflow is within its grasp: GIS. GIS has the precision, power, and ease of use to effectively help manage this critical infrastructure.
Based on feedback from our clients, along with our expertise in local government and GIS, we developed a solution to assist making this process as simple as possible. That solution is AssetSync.
AssetSync helps across all areas of government, as well as the private sector. By combining the power of GIS and GPS, AssetSync allows for the spatial collection of data and delivers reliable information in a visual representation, in the field; office; or on the web. Using Esri’s Local Government Information Model (LGIM), or a custom model that you may already utilize, Sidwell helps streamline the creation; maintenance; and reporting that are necessary in the administration of an effective asset management system. By simplifying the maintenance workflows, this allows us to get our clients up and running within days of training. Our highly experienced staff will train the end users to have them proficient in the day-to-day skills to get the project done.
At the end of the day, having your GIS assets accounted for helps avoid possible safety concerns. Knowing where your assets are located, what they are, and when they have been maintained will make reporting and maintenance that much more efficient and simple.
