Overall, more and more people want to include and integrate additional data within their GIS. At Geonexus, we enable GIS to go beyond the Edge by providing a platform for integration. This GIS integration platform includes productized connectors for Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Enterprise Asset Management Systems (EAM), Customer Information Systems (CIS), and endless opportunities to build additional connectors to meet the integration needs of any enterprise.

At asset intensive organizations, data is shared across multiple utility business systems. These systems include: Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Customer Information Systems (CIS), Outage Management Systems (OMS), and Distribution Management Systems (DMS). For each system, the data must reside in the application’s native database to support its functionality.

One of the keys to successful enterprise integrations is transparency. The reason for this is because users want to know what is happening to their enterprise data as it moves between multiple systems to ensure its integrity. With many solutions, this transparency is lacking or non-existent.

With any integration, one of the most frustrating things is often the cost and burden of upkeep. In fact, many enterprise system integration solutions force you to continuously rebuild or reconfigure with even minor upgrades of edge systems. With a loosely coupled solution, you can significantly reduce burdens and, in most cases, eliminate them altogether.

GeoWorx Sync is a powerful tool for synchronizing data that is shared by multiple Enterprise Systems. The tool includes many robust features for true, bidirectional data synchronization. However, there are a few features that set it apart from other integration tools that you may not be aware of.
