City of Naperville in Production with Designer
Illinois electric company rolls out integrated solution for more efficient design
Fort Collins, CO -- The City of Naperville’s utility division, serving 55,000 electric customers in the state of Illinois, has completed their implementation of Designer and Workflow Manager. The City of Naperville continues to expand their use of GIS with the ArcFM Solution and finalized their latest investment with the inclusion of Designer, a GIS-based graphic design solution from Miner & Miner, a Telvent company.
In 2004, the City decided to streamline their design engineering by leveraging the GIS and integrating it with HTE, their work order and financial system from SunGard, to simplify existing processes, improve workflow, and optimize the design cycle. The City also procured Miner & Miner services to deliver customized tools, including a CAD export tool and a custom cost engine that generates cost estimates in Designer based on the information in HTE.
Currently, six designers utilize the technology, and additional users may be added over the next year.
“Using Designer will allow us to improve our business process and remove some time-consuming tasks. Having a system like Designer that can be locally configured by our staff is very important since that allows us to make the best use of our investment,” said Jim Kivela, GIS/CAD Supervisor for the City of Naperville.
