“Pacific Alliance developed an iVAULT interface for our Esri platform for easy data access,” said Mike Merrett, GIS-Database Specialist, City of Whitehorse.

iVAULT easily integrates GIS with financial and asset data, improving efficiency and decision-making.

The City of Whitehorse maintained separate databases for financial and asset information with some GIS data stored on a few computer desktops. Extracting mapping data was manually intensive and limited to a few users. Whitehorse needed an efficient method to identify and contact property owners for City By-law amendments.

Project Goal

Provide an efficient method to identify the property owners for City By-law amendments, delivering GIS data to the web, integrating their datasets.

Solution

iVAULT is a web-based geospatial portal to easily search, analyze, report and view data. Pacific Alliance developed an Esri platform interface to access financial and asset data sets; it was designed with ArcGIS for Microsoft Silverlight.

Results

Integrated with the Diamond Municipal and WorkTech Databases, iVAULT provides easy report creation for mapping, financial and asset data. It creates a customizable interface for various user groups. The web-based solution provides easy accessibility across departments to improve efficiency and decision-making. Now Whitehorse has a visual portal into their enterprise data from a spatial perspective.

The City of Whitehorse chose Pacific Alliance because of its expertise in system integration and experience with StarDyne Technologies’ sister companies, Diamond Municipal Systems and WorkTech Inc.

“Overall we are very pleased with the iVAULT product and its integration with our datasets,”

 “This improves staff workflows; for example, City staff can now easily identify and generate mailing labels to contact owners affected by proposed by-law amendments.”  - Mike Merrett, GIS – Database Specialist, City of Whitehorse.
