German Long-Distance Water Supplier Chooses Intergraph®
NOW is latest German utility to use Intergraph infrastructure management solutions to improve efficiency
Huntsville, AL (PRWEB) April 21, 2009 -- Zweckverband Wasserversorgung Nordostwürttemberg (NOW), a long-distance water supplier in Germany, has chosen Intergraph® to fully replace its existing geographic information system (GIS) and improve the efficiency of its water distribution operations. NOW is the third long-distance water supplier in the Baden-Württemberg area of Germany to choose Intergraph for its infrastructure management needs.
"The new system from Intergraph is very open and powerful and can run on our existing Oracle database," said Ernst Rommel, CEO of NOW. "We expect this to significantly improve the way we store and leverage data across our utility, leading to faster, more efficient processes and improved service to 100 cities and municipalities and 600,000 inhabitants."
The Intergraph solution will be used to document NOW's complete long-distance water supply network, along with all of its technical assets. The solution will provide consistent support for the company's planning, construction and operational processes, as well as for infrastructure service and maintenance.
Intergraph infrastructure management technology is open and can seamlessly import, process and export data from external systems such as computer-aided design (CAD) applications, allowing NOW to take full advantage of its enterprise data. Users will also be able to access all of the asset data via a simple Web browser from any workstation in the company for maximum speed and efficiency.
"The increasing adoption of our solutions by discerning German water utilities and our displacement of a well-known existing solution at NOW prove that water providers trust Intergraph to deliver more powerful geospatial systems to manage their critical infrastructure assets," said Maximilian Weber, Utilities & Communications manager for Intergraph.
Intergraph infrastructure management solutions will be on display at Booth 211 during GITA's Geospatial Infrastructure Solutions Conference & Exhibition in Tampa, FL, from April 20-22, 2009.
