District of Chester
The District of Chester had stored its financial and asset information in separate databases and there were no integration with their GIS spatial data. By standardizing on the ESRI platform, the District was able to consolidate all of its data into a central geodatabase, increasing their decision-making process.
Using the ArcGIS for Microsoft Silverlight API, Pacific Alliance Technologies then implemented iVAULT ArcGIS to enable GIS and financial data to be linked and published through the Web. iVAULT has connectors with Microsoft Dynamics ERP and CRM modules. The project also allows the District to click on their georeferenced documents and view them within their Laserfiche Document Management System.
The iVAULT Edit component of the system allows District staff to maintain information about the sewer lines, through a web browser. With the implementation, the District was able to create Emergency Response Management plans on both their mapping data and on Bing Maps. District of Chester Website.

City of Whitehorse
iVAULT for ArcGIS Streamlines Government Services in Canadas North
The City of Whitehorse had stored its financial and asset information in separate databases and GIS data was only available on a few desktops throughout the municipality. By standardizing on the ESRI platform, the City was able to consolidate all of its data into a central geodatabase.

Regional District of Kitimat Stikine
iVAULT Edit and MapGuide Open Source
RDKS needed to provide accurate address data to 9-1-1 emergency dispatchers, meeting their data specifications. Some communities had address databases; others relied on outdated physical maps. Address databases were in various formats. Some personal telephone numbers and many rural areas lacked civic addresses. RDKS needed a distance-based addressing system to fix this. They needed to standardize address data, assign street addresses to missing properties and deliver a system for easy updating by the various communities.
Using Pacific Alliance’s own iVAULT Data Editing Module on MapGuide Open Source, Pacific Alliance delivered a web GIS solution for address editing and a process to automatically meet three sets of address standards used by the emergency response organizations.
