Industries > Geographic Information Systems for Energy

Energy companies annually invest billions of dollars gathering and processing data contained within documents. These documents drive key decisions made by company executives. Finding valuable data and knowledge in vast document collections efficiently is fundamental to earning competitive advantages.

Studies have shown approximately 30% of a professional's time is spent searching for or reinventing documentation. One study demonstrated that an enterprise with 1,000 knowledge workers can lose anywhere from $2.5 million $3.5 million annually in intellectual re-work and time spent searching for non-existent data. *Source: International Data Corporation (IDC)

Utilities

Increasingly required to access information about their electric, gas, or water distributed network, utilities must bring together traditional document management and geographic information systems (GIS). Geographically enabled content management systems can positively impact each of these areas, allowing easy access to a broad set of procedures, design drawings, maintenance information, systems, and workflows.

Trinity Technologies, the leader in configuring, integrating, customizing and implementing content management systems has worked with MetaCarta to create an integrated geographically enabled content management solution called GeoISE for utility companies. This unique technology combines traditional text or keyword search with powerful geographic search so information in a document management (EDM) system can be mapped, categorized, and searched using geographic parameters across EDM repositories.
