District of Mission

Delivering geospatial data to the web, improving customer service

The District of Mission, founded in 1892, is located 70 km east of Vancouver and only 15 minutes from the Canada-USA border with a population of over 38,000 people.

Challenge

The District of Mission used internal web GIS across departments, but found that requests from the public, consultants, and professionals were time-intensive to process. They wanted to automate and provide external users access to District data with strong user access controls.

Solution

iVAULT is a web-based geospatial portal to easily search, report and view data. Pacific Alliance implemented iVAULT Municipal designed with ESRI’s ArcGIS for Microsoft Silverlight.

Pacific Alliance integrated iVAULT with the District’s GIS system, set-up searches for various user groups with enhanced SSL controls for user access.

Results

iVAULT provided easy report creation and was easily integrated with Mission’s databases, along with strong user access administration controls. Following data conversion and establishing different user groups, the District successfully implemented the project, thereby providing mapping and data access to the public, consultants and professionals.

“Pacific Alliance’s combined proven expertise, iVAULT product with excellent customer support delivered what we needed. This greatly improves customer delivery time and allows external access data that previously was only available internally.” – Hirod Gill, Design Engineer – District of Mission.,
