The Fellowship of Asset ManagementBy: Mike Morris and Rick Ehlin

2009 Utility Work Flow

Noblesville GIS

GIS- centric Asset Management System Built specifically for ESRI ArcGIS Service Requests Work Orders Inspection Projects

Cityworks

Two Flavors

Desktop Requires at least an

ArcEngine license Must be installed on every

computer Initial Cost is low Software Maintenance on

every computer Only 35 users for the Utility

Server Requires ArcServer

license Only need intranet access Initial Cost is high Software Maintenance on

one computer Great for multiple users

Local Lead the Nation in Implementations Familiar Staff

Woolpert

Decide what Assets (features) were going to be used

Place all Assets in one file geodatabase Add “non-feature” assets to file geodatabase Related those “non-feature” assets to feature

assets Create an AssetID field for every feature

Steps to implementation

Create Work Orders Create Service Requests Create Inspections Employee List with security Material List Equipment List

Steps- continued

GIS installed either ArcEngine or ArcView plus Cityworks Desktop on each computer

Trained supervisors on Cityworks and Administration

Lastly- trained all Operators Go Live- Fall of 2009 (6 to 9 months)

Almost There

Cityworks Anywhere

17 Users Unlimited Cityworks Desktop licenses 7 Concurrent ArcView licenses GIS haves- Centerlines, street lights and

some trees GIS have nots- sign posts, rest of trees,

cemetery, sidewalks and maintenance buildings

Streets

8 Users Unlimited Cityworks Desktop Licenses 7 Concurrent ArcView licenses GIS haves- park boundary and trails GIS have nots- park activity areas, park

structures (grills, water fountains, etc), park buildings

Golf- no GIS at all

Parks

Cityworks Recap for Departments

Utilities Go live 2009 35 users 15 ArcEngine (Computer Specific)

and 7 ArcView Concurrent Streets

Go live 2011 17 users 7 ArcView Concurrent

Parks Go live 2011 (Limited) 8 users 7 ArcView Concurrent

Future?

PROBLEM?

Solution

Initially looked to County to host map services

ArcGIS Server Standard Workgroup

File Geodatabase Virtual server

Benefits Lower costs

Purchase Maintenance

Functionality Limitations

10 simultaneous multi-user geodatabase connections 10 GB storage capacity Single-server installation only for up to 4 cores

ArcGIS Server Standard Workgroup

Supports existing editing processes No additional administration

ArcSDE tuning ArcSDE administration DBMS tuning

No practical size limit

File Geodatabase

Decision made in 2011 Work began early 2012 Cityworks Server 2012 SP1 in test

environment on April 23 Went live July 9

Migration to Server

Problems or what we would do different

Problems Reporting is difficult Runs on Silverlight

Done different Visit another

Cityworks site Stayed on one

Domain

Future

Bring more departments on (Engineering)

Fine tune the inspection and print templates
