MOUSE. The network model will now be maintained in one department, eliminating redundant data entry. The City of Redmond chose to standardize using GeoMedia technology because its open technology approach allows integration of many different data formats. This enables the city to integrate GIS into the day-to-day discipline of numerous workflows. The entire network can now be spatially analyzed from an employee's desktop, providing a means to streamline maintenance and map production. The city's network data will also be accessed from the GeoMedia-based enterprise Web environment currently under development. The implementation is scheduled to be completed by May 2004.
