A Journey of GIS Data Integration into an Asset Management System – Eliud Flores Saenz – City of Pullman

This presentation details the path the City of Pullman took in preparing its GIS data into a third-party asset management system.

It will discuss the challenges, insights, and lessons learned during that process, as well as the strategies that were implemented and devised to centralize data into a single authoritative GIS-focused source. Among such challenges that will be discussed are: lack of geospatial data for tracked assets, incomplete legacy data from authoritative sources, differing definitions of what constitutes an asset across departments and workflows that were implemented to solve said challenges. I will also expand upon some Cartegraph-specific troubleshooting and creative solutions we are trying to implement to get the most use out of this system in conjunction with our Esri ArcGIS Portal.

While this presentation focuses on Pullman and Open Gov’s (formerly Cartegraph) Asset Management system, its principles and strategies detailed here are broad enough in scope to be universally useful across the spectrum of asset management systems. Such as creating a standard for asset IDs and managing data structures.
