ArcFM™ and SAP™ Integration Streamlined with Impress's Geo I.App
Madrid, August 22, 2005 - Telvent
(Nasdaq TLVT), the Global RealTime IT Company, and Waltham,
Mass.-- Impress Software, working with Miner & Miner, a Telvent
company, has developed Geo I.App, a packaged integration application
which links Miner & Miner's ArcFM software to SAP. This application
will eliminate redundant data entry by providing all the essential
functionality to manage assets and maintenance activities
directly from the GIS through a live integration with SAP.
The initial integration was featured at the ESRI Users Conference
in San Diego, CA, July 24 through 31, 2005.
Geo I.App is specifically designed
for SAP and ESRI ArcGIS/ArcFM users and allows for the synchronization
of spatial objects in both the SAP's PLM and EAM modules and
GIS environment. The application leverages ESRI's ArcGIS Server
architecture and ensures that geographical data, functional
locations, and equipment, are consistent across the enterprise,
and eliminates the risk of discrepancies in location and resources.
"The integration of enterprise resource
planning (ERP) back office systems with spatial technology
has long been a goal of many utilities. But a number of variables
have made integration difficult to achieve and expensive to
maintain. The work by Impress to bring together ArcFM and
SAP offers utilities and other enterprises a great head start
towards an affordable and sustainable solution," said Jeff
Meyers, president of Miner & Miner.
"We're pleased to be working with
Miner & Miner to deliver a best of breed packaged integration
application for the utilities market," said Warren Utt, Impress
CEO. "By bridging ArcFM and SAP, Geo I.App enables organizations
to more efficiently manage geographically distributed assets
and maintenance activities."
