GIS solution covers the needs of utilities companies at the comprehensive level in terns of geo-information technologies. It represents a system fully oriented at objects. Solution offers user-friendly and comfort environment covering individual requirements of the customer by the means of function modules.

Robust spatial indexing is able to manage any size of the database. Technology of versioned database enables concurrent work for almost unlimited number of users not only in the reading regime as well as while making records into database.
System serves for administration of facilities and managing business processes in the utilities companies, it supports all commonly used data types (vector and raster data). Concerning performance, robustness, reliability of the solution and adaptability to the company's individual requirements, it is designated for medium-sized and large gas, water, heat and power distributing companies.

Technical solution

• Database layer comprises of database server which controls a central database and provides application layer with the access to the requested data. Layer can comprise of one or more database servers.
• Application layer comprises of application logics which works with data provided by the database layer and ensures required functioning of the application.
• Presentation layer comprises only tools for presentation of data and entire application logic is arranged by the application server.

Main functionality

• Versioned spatial database
• Creating and editing database objects
• Searching information about objects and their localization on the map
