1. GSI Geoportal Solution
GeoFac Systems Inc.
Product:
GSI Geoportal
Technologies:
HTML5, Javascript, ASP.Net Web API
Client Challenge:
The Client had reached the end of life for support with
an existing Silverlight GIS Viewer. Limitations of the
existing tool had
resulted in users not
using the Company
GIS for daily mapping
activities and users
would turn to external
mapping products.
The lack of
notifications when
field crews reported
data problems had
also resulted in a decreased adoption rate by field
crews.
GeoFac Systems Solution:
GSI built and delivered the GSI Geoportal Solution, a
single-page application providing users with an HTML5
touch enabled GIS Viewer. The system, built on the
Esri JavaScript API, Dojo Toolkit, and ASP.Net WebAPI
provides a lite-weight browser application with simple
workflows for users to explore and navigate through
available GIS content from both the office and in the
field. The modular design of the code allows for new
widgets to be quickly built and deployed to users.
Closely integrated with the WebAPI and configuration
database, system administrators can configure and
deploy multiple viewers through
adding a new profile to the
database. No programming
required. Tools include simple
dynamically generated custom
searches, advanced search,
and redlining. The GSI Redline
widget allows users to produce
redline sets and save those
sets. When integrated with the
Notification System users can
be notified when new redlines are added and new
comments have been added or redlines edited.
Results:
The Geoportal Solution has provided the Client with a
robust web-based mapping application that can
integrate workflows between the office
GIS Staff and users across the entire organization.
Users are now turning to the internal GIS for all
mapping needs and communication has improved
between users in the field and office GIS staff, leading
to improved data quality.
