State Capital of Duesseldorf

The state capital of Duesseldorf uses MapInfo Professional as a centralized Geo-Information-System (GIS) since several years. Over the years a huge amount of geodata has been collected from the concerned departments of the city, this data is combined for broad use across the city and related agencies. The primarygoal is to provide the data to all departments and agencies in a consolidated form using the latest technologies. To accomplish these goals the state capital decided to use an Oracle based solution.

The City of Herten Group

The GIS-project in Herten was decisively influenced by the complexity of the different corporate structures of the Herten group: e.g. Hertener Stadtwerke GmbH as local utility, city of Herten and Zentraler Bautbetriebshof (dep. of civil engineering, traffic, transport,…) all of which impact geodata infrastructure.

Due to the constant growth of available geodata and the needs of those in the different departments of the involved parties, reorganization ofthe management of geodata at the Herten group was required. In addition there was a requirement to supply geodata to external service providers and agencies. Contemporary IT-structures for providing services and the supply of geo information indicated the implementation of a classical (geo) data warehouse supplemented with geodata content.
